By the time I had opened my eyes again, the sun had already begun to set; we had fallen asleep. I gently shook Natalie's shoulder to wake her up.

"Natalie, wake up, we fell asleep. We've got to get going," I said, getting her to stand up. I grabbed my bag and we walked back to the car.

She sighed, and right as she was about to kiss me on the cheek, I turned my face so she kissed my lips. She looked back at me, shocked, and I smiled. "
