Look, Alison! A rainbow! Kirk exclaimed. the colors were already fading. They evaporated while we stared at each other. Kirk moved toward me, coming so close I felt his breath on my face. Alison, that rainbow must be a special omen... because you're a special person, he whispered, leaning toward me. I don't remember clasping my hands at the back of his neck, but they were there. He held me tightly, his arms circling my body and his heart thudding against mine as his lips touched my mouth.
