Was it possible to become catatonic after just one kiss? I sat there in the prayer box, ten minutes like she asked me to, thinking about this sin that didn't feel like one. Bad things were supposed to make you all heavy at the ankles and slumped at the shoulders. Guilt should be bearing down like a gorilla on your back. But, all I felt was light and fluffy and giddy. Like a laundry detergent commercial with the fluttery dress and soap suds and unbelievably white seamless panties. I wanted to sing and dance. On my way back to class, I think I did.
