About This Quote
The phrase "his lips tasted cool and sharp, peppermint, winter, but his hands, soft on the back of my neck, promised long days and summer and forever" has many layers of meaning. The first is that he was kissing me. His breath was minty; the taste of winter; but his lips were soft and warm on my neck. Next, he said he would be with me forever.
I never thought I'd hear those words from someone I only just met. And finally, the promise of summer and forever suggests that our relationship would last forever.
