PDA done right

not long ago, interminably long ago, just last saturday, my love and i were down at the stanford shopping mall, looking for diamond nose rings. nothing suitable was to be found, so we returned to my parking spot.

the car was facing one of the exit roads, which is to say, if i were to sit in the car facing forward (or rather, were she to sit in the car facing forward), automotive passers-by exiting the parking lot would have a clear view of us.

before i unlocked the car, we engaged in the sort of passionate kiss typical of our situation (a dry, bloodless way of stating that we had a most excellent, public, "get-a-room-you-two" moment). that finished, i opened her door and she took her seat. i proceeded to take some photographs of my love, for the next day would find her returned to her post at a quite unkissible distance of 1400 miles.

my camera satiated, i bent in to deliver another long, passionate kiss (which, with a cold, is no small feat, on account of the nose is unable to supply the requisite oxygen to sustain a long kiss. still, i managed. i'm smooth like that.). while occupied in this most lovely of endeavours, my peripheral vision caught glimpse of an SUV with windows open, a little boy hanging his head out the window, staring at us.

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! squealed the little boy in prepubescent disgust.

nicely done.
