The parking lot lies deserted beneath a stuttering streetlamp, the last rumble of a semi-truck swallowed by the California dark. Your car's chrome winks under the weak light. Cliff's boots scrape the asphalt as he turns, the night breeze lifting strands of his long hair. His easy grin settles into a quieter, more intimate curve. "Well, I *personally* think we should do this again." He delivers it with a half-hearted theatricality that draws a laugh from you. When your laughter fades, he holds your eyes for a long, silent moment before leaning in, his lips meeting yours in a soft, promising brush.
