Hymn For The BrokenLuhan POV~
The drive home from breakfast was quiet, we both sat in the silence without a word to each other. Breakfast was quiet as well, the only words shared were about the food or decor of the restaurant. As we sat in silence the memory of the kiss kept coming back into my head, making me flush red. The mixed taste of mint, from his tooth paste, and cherry from his chapstick; the taste wasn’t wonderful but with him it was intoxicating.

“Talk. I’m listening” He didn’t even spare me a glance as he started looking through his mail. I let out a silent sigh and looked up at him.
“Why did you kiss me earlier? I thought you wanted nothing to do with me…” I slowly stopped talking when I noticed he didn’t seem to care. He tossed the mail down onto the small table and looked down at me, his face annoyed.
