"I'm thinking of dying my hair..." she was still speaking and Jeremy was in no mood to listen.
"I want to kiss you..." he spoke in a low voice, covering his face with his hand. He thought she won't hear him, but she stopped speaking right at that instant and his heart skipped a beat.
Jerlina did hear one bit.
'...kiss you.'
She wondered what he was about to say.
"What did you say?" she asked and saw him bowing his head, placing the cigar between his lips.
"Nothing... So, what are you cooking for breakfast?" he tried to change the topic.
"You said something about a kiss. What were you saying? I couldn't hear it," she probed.
"Nothing much. Leave, I'll have to-"
"Okay," Jerlina shrugged and decided to leave it.
She thought she might have missed something important, but what he said registered in her brain only sometime later. He was talking about kissing and she didn't want to delve into it further.
