But Thomas just looked over at her with suspicion, "What's that supposed to mean?"
She smiled at him. She softly kissed his cheek for her fourth time ever, and then she finally stole that kiss on his lips. She whispered, her words entering his mouth, "Nothing. Nothing at all."
Thomas pulled Brenda closer to him and her legs ended up straddling his hips. He kissed her harder, and it was the moment she knew he didn't need to hold on to his love for Teresa anymore. The three of them had all had their ups and downs, but even before Teresa died for his cause, he had chosen her. He had chosen Brenda.
Brenda didn't let go of his kiss as she thought about all that their future could hold. All that they could finally have. She gripped his cheeks and squeezed her legs against his until he finally took the cue to pull her back on the ground.
As she hovered over him like that, she kissed him deeply and thought about the day they might be able to take it further to create a brand new world to live in.
