"This is silly." Was it a statement or a question? Was she saying it to Peter or herself?

Liz could practically feel Maria's eye roll.

She looked at Peter and for a moment looked rather rigid and tense and not like someone who had been dating him for almost a year now. And then Liz suddenly leaned forward and kissed him on the lips. It was tense at first and then, when she felt the warmth of his lips, she relaxed.

And the best part was, when she kissed him, she only thought about him. No worries about other boys or any sort of hang ups. It was just Peter and the feeling she had when she was around him usually.

When she pulled back, Liz was smiling.
