He took a hairpin out of my untidy hair (by now my complicated arrangement of ringlets must have looked as if a couple of birds had been nesting there); he took a strand of it and wound it around his finger. With his other hand he began stroking my face, and then he bent down and kissed me again, this time very cautiously. I closed my eyes - and the same thing happened as before: my brain suffered that delicious break in transmission. Kerstin Gier
About This Quote

When she was in her early fifties, the author of the book "The Portable Virgin" (Holly Lisle) wrote an account of her life. She described the first time she met Herman Wouk, when he was perhaps 15 years older than she was. She wrote: "He took a hairpin out of my untidy hair; he took a strand of it and wound it around his finger. With his other hand he began stroking my face, and then he bent down and kissed me again, this time very cautiously." Wouk was not quite sure what to do next, so he went to his car for his cigarettes.

While he waited for the car to warm up, he took out a book of matches and lit one up. He sat down beside her and looked at her face in wonderment. Her eyes were closed just as they had been when they were kissing before.

When she opened them, she realized that an entire half-hour had passed without her realizing it.
