Jasper's mind raced as his lips met Marly's. What the heck? He knew this was wrong on so many levels, but it felt right. In fact, it felt so right that his head was spinning.

Then he felt it. A slight tingle in his nose, growing stronger and stronger. Abruptly, he pulled himself away from Marly mid-kiss, throwing his head back and letting out a huge sneeze, with another two right behind it. His eyes started to water, and his throat felt scratchy. The citrus perfume. He was having an allergic reaction to Marly's perfume.

Marly sat completely still, looking totally horrified at what had just happened.

"I'm… I'm sorry, Jasper. I think I had a bit too much to drink. I should probably get going." Marly's apology was awkward as she fumbled around to stand up. She looked embarrassed beyond words.

"You don't have to say you're sorry." Jasper held his hand out to her to help her up. Was she apologizing for dropping the plates, falling on the patio, or for kissing him? He hoped it wasn't the latter. He had enjoyed the kiss. He wondered if he should tell her that citrus smells always make him sneeze, but before he could say anything, she spoke up.

"This is a mess." Marly looked down at the puddle of sauce, food, and broken dishes.

Jasper opened his mouth and closed it without saying anything. Did she mean kissing him was a mess? Or the Alfredo sauce strewn all over his terrace? He could tell she was uncomfortable. He wanted to ask her not to leave but wasn't sure she would stay. She looked as if she really wanted to leave.

Maybe she'd just had too much wine and regretted the kiss. Maybe she had a concussion and didn't know what she was doing. Maybe it was best to call it a night and forget all about it. He was mulling this over when a low grumbling sound floated across the terrace. Thunder.

They both looked off in the distance to see a bolt of white lightning light up the sky. The air had become thick with humidity.

"Well, I should go now before it starts to rain." Marly said, dabbing at an Alfredo stain on her shirt and then reaching to pick up one of the plates.

"I can clean this up," Jasper replied, still not wanting her to leave but also not wanting her to get caught in the rain.

Marly grabbed the laptop and mumbled, "Have a good night," before bolting away. As she crossed into his house and out the door, Jasper got the distinct impression she was trying not to break into a full-out run.
