Sofie's grasp on Ed's hand tightened imperceptibly.  Maybe she was wrong to do this.  She just knew what her father would've said (or rather done) and she bit her lip, a nervous tick.  Her mom had always been open towards Sofie finding some love in the future at least, and some days they would crouch in the closet together (so as not to wake Father up) and giggle as Sofie recalled her embarrassing childhood crush stories. Those were simpler times and Sofie remembered the feeling of warmth that that love had given her.  It was time for her to take a risk, she thought.  Sofie had traveled all the way here and to complete her journey fully would mean that she had to have participated in [i]some[/i] new experiences.  In fact, she was already feeling proud of herself, for taking such a huge step. Self-confidence had never ever cropped up as easily as it did now.  She smiled.
"Let's do this." 
And with that she leaned slightly over the console and kissed Ed on the cheek, settling back down after she had done so.  Her hands rose to cup her flaming red cheeks and she sighed.
In this moment Sofie didn't allow herself to think of anything else, of [i]anyone[/i] else.  She was purely, selfishly just thinking about her.  And it felt good.
