She covered her face. What could it be that was causing her, them, this much turmoil? He watched her carefully, not wanting to push her too far. He needed to hear whatever it was, but she could take her time putting the words together. Finally she looked back at him and spoke again, but her words only left him more confused. What could have happened to make her think that whatever this was would ruin their friendship? Nayati couldn't think of anything that the sweet woman could have possibly done to make him not want to be her friend anymore. After all, he had been upset that she had been avoiding him, hadn't he made that clear? The last thing he wanted was to not be her friend anymore. The man was trying to figure out what it could possibly be as she was silent once more, when the most unexpected thing of all happened.
He felt her delicate hands on his face and then a split second later, her soft lips were pressed to his. Nayati's eyes grew wide and all the buzzing that had been going on in his head all night stopped abruptly. For a moment he was simply stunned, but that quickly turned into something else, and just as he was about to lean into that contact it stopped. His eyes, which had begun to close, shot back open just in time to see Liliana run out of his house. If he hadn't been so shocked, he might have run after her, but at the moment all he could do was stare stupidly at the moving flap and think with wonder at what had just happened, and what it meant.
