Kissed Quote by Catherine Cookson
““You have never kissed me. Patted me, hugged me, but you've never kissed me." "Oh, Rosie, Rosie." His face looked on the point of laughter, then his lips fell gently on hers and he held the kiss for some time. Now, pressing her face from him, he said "That's merely an introduction. When your cheek is better I'll do it properly.””
