River's kiss tasted like coffee and storms and secrets…
““River's kiss tasted like coffee and storms and secrets. And slowly, slowly he began to move faster, and then faster... And then he stopped. River let go of me, just like that. Just about the time I'd forgotten who I was, just about the time I'd forgotten we were even two separate people anymore and not just one glowing, quivering, ocean of kissing... he let me go. He stepped back and took a deep breath.””
