His surprise to her question surprised Lexi in a way. Her face scrunched into one of thought as she attempted to process the best way to explain the situation to her very smart yet slightly stupid boyfriend. “Every story is typically written with the basics,” She began, enjoying the first time that she could teach Peter something instead of the other way around; hey there was a first time for everything right?! “A girl, a problem and someone coming to save her; and at the end of every story, the hero who saves the girl, gets a hero’s reward for saving the damsel in distress. A kiss.” She said with a nod as she turned another corner and pulled in the driveway of her house which looked like something on the cover of a post card from a small town. 

“Basically we lived a story but there were two heroes instead of one and really no damsel in distress so I guess that’s not the best example. What I’m really asking Peter is…” She turned to him in the seat as she put the car in park and unbuckled her seatbelt. “Did you know I was going to go in for a kiss that night? Or did I catch you by surprise?”
