They're centimetres apart by now and all she wants to do is close the gap entirely by kissing him. But this is nice, when they're having fun and teasing each other, and James is being especially cute. "Oh, you drive a hard bargain, Mr. Holden." She pretends to be serious for a moment. "However, I agree to your terms which we absolutely must seal with a kiss. A handshake won't suffice."

Finally, Bela closes that gap to brush her lips against his. Already feeling giddy and full of that affection that she absolutely has towards him.
