CRASH

A massive crash of lightning breaks the moment, striking it down with a crash of thunder so intense Ethan feels the house shake, the lights fluttering.

Alex lets out a small yelp, and before Ethan knows it she's clinging to him.

The thunder rolls in the sky, dissipating, and after a few moments, the lights stabilize.

Ethan, while slightly scared by how close the strike sounded, can't dwell on that, instead dwelling on the face Alex is holding onto him tight, her face buried in his shoulder. Not sure what to do, he simply strokes her hair, trying to comfort her. Her black locks are mostly dry now, although the wind did mess it up a bit.

After a moment of comforting her, Alex pulls herself up. "Ethan..." she's close, so close. Ethan can almost taste her. That taste of strawberries. "Do you..."

"Yes," Ethan answers.

She smiles, "You don't know what I-"

"Yes," he answers again, "I do."

He stares into her magnificent blue eyes. Losing himself in them.

And then, he loses himself in her, leaning in and kissing her deeply.

Strawberries...
