The MMC of my Contemporary Romance, A Slow Staccato

“Do you ever smile?” I ask, folding my arms.

Gabriele’s soil eyes peer at me, cold and furrowed. “Do you ever not?”

I roll my smile as if on queue. “Touché.”

[aslowstaccato]

“You kiss like you dance.”

“And how’s that?” I breathe against his lips.

“Like it was made for you.”

[aslowstaccato]

“Pottery is a dance with your hands whereas poetry is a dance with words.”

[aslowstaccato]

“Ask me.”

“Ask you what?”

“Ask me to take this off you.”
