"Yes," replied Marc dreamily.
"You seem fascinated by beauty, almost starved for it."
Marc nodded and leaned his head back further on the tree.
"Then get fascinated, you dope," Toffee leaned forward to face him.
"Huh?" Marc stared at the girl as though he hadn't been quite aware of her before.
"I'm beautiful too and twice as much fun." It was a simple statement of fact. "Kiss me," she added.
"Haven't you any restraint?"
"With everything else I have, you ask for restraint!" Toffee drew nearer.
"You're shameless," said Marc.
"Naturally." Toffee closed her eyes and advanced her lips to his. Abruptly, Marc threw his hands to the grass before him and boosted himself to his feet, leaving Toffee's arm to fall dejectedly to her side.
