He turns away, and I instantly regret questioning the depth of his stare. A surge of passion overwhelms me. Cut it out, that’s not you. It’s as if my arms aren’t registering my brain, and I see them travel away from my body. They reach for his collar. Gently turning his soft golden curls in my direction, I let my fingers slide up to his face. He turns towards me as I let my eyes sink into his. He leans in, and his gaze settles upon me. Where it must be, where it always should be.

Just so you know, secretly, I would. I’d be the first to.

His dimples intensified, crumbling all the strength I held within.

But just so you know, I’d also do so for almost anyone. So, honestly, don’t get too flattered.

Well, just glad to be anyone for you.

Um, ok…

Clearly, he was the cheese, and I was the wine.

But, those dimples. Those dimples remained in my presence for the rest of the night. The way they must. The way they always should.
