Noah remained perfectly still, his mind seemingly several steps behind what had just happened. He could still feel the warmth of her lips against his, the sensation lingering even after she'd pulled away.
Sage slowly lifted her head from his shoulder, though her hand remained resting on his thigh, where it had been for the past few minutes.
Their eyes met again.
Noah opened his mouth, ready to say something—anything—but the words never came. His lips parted, then closed again as his mind suddenly went blank.
Sage's lips curved into a small, almost amused smile.
"Was that your first kiss?"
"No, but it felt like it."
"Oh? Did it now?" Her smile widened slightly. "What makes you say that?"
"I don't know. It just did."
Sage studied him for a moment before leaning a little closer, her eyes never leaving his.
"What a simple answer."
