" I want the implications, Cerys. For the first time in my life, I look forward to there being repercussions for my actions. I want to kiss you and know that tomorrow, I get to kiss you again. Until you’re ready to do something more than kiss. I want the steps to have meaning. I don’t want to blast through them all in one night and then have nothing to look forward to but an awkward goodbye the next morning. "
