Kiss Jane during the final picture

The countdown continues blinking softly across the screen.

Jane looks at you through the warm dim light of the booth, her expression still soft from laughing only seconds earlier.

Your eyes drift briefly toward her lips.

Then back to her eyes again.

A tiny smile slowly pulls at the corner of her mouth like she already knows exactly what you’re thinking.

“You’re staring again,” she murmurs quietly.

“Can you blame me?”

That only makes her smile widen slightly.

The tiny booth suddenly feels impossibly close.

Her knee presses against yours. One of her hands rests lightly against your arm while the ocean breeze slips faintly through the curtain behind you. Outside, the boardwalk noise feels distant now compared to the quiet warmth trapped inside this little booth with her.

And honestly?

You stop caring about the picture entirely.

Your hand slides gently along her waist before pulling her a little closer.

The teasing look in her eyes softens immediately.

“Oh,” Jane whispers.

You lean in and kiss her.

The kiss lands soft at first.

Warm.

Familiar.

But the second her lips melt against yours, she immediately kisses you back harder without hesitation, one hand sliding up along your chest while the other curls lightly against your jaw.

FLASH.

Neither of you pulls away immediately after the picture goes off.

The booth fills with soft laughter against each other’s lips while the countdown disappears from the screen completely.

“Oh my god,” Jane laughs breathlessly once you finally separate slightly. “We definitely missed the picture.”

You grin.

“Worth it.”

She’s still smiling when the printed strip finally slides slowly out from the machine beneath the screen.

“Oh wait,” Jane says excitedly while grabbing it immediately.

The two of you lean closer together to look at the pictures.

The first one is complete chaos.

The second one is actually cute.

The third one is blurry from laughing.

And the final one—

The final one catches the exact second your hand pulls her closer while she’s halfway smiling into the kiss.

Soft golden light spills through the edges of the booth around both of you while her eyes are still partially closed in the picture.

It looks weirdly intimate.

Real.

For a second, neither of you says anything.

Then Jane smiles softly while staring down at the strip.

“Okay,” she says quietly. “I really love this one.”

Something warm settles in your chest immediately.

She carefully runs her thumb along the edge of the printed strip before looking back up at you again.

“We’re keeping these forever by the way.”

“You say that now.”

“No,” Jane says seriously while holding the pictures protectively against her chest. “I’m emotionally attached already.”

You laugh softly.

“That happened fast.”

“You kissed me in a haunted photo booth,” she says. “That’s basically a core memory now.”

Honestly?

She’s probably right.
