Kali felt victorious and happily sat watching James and his mom.  She wished she had that relationship with her parents. She didnt understand why her parents were the way they were.  she ate a few more shrimp as she watched them happily.  

Brandon smiled at the allowance she gave him and he deepened the kiss.  he was explored her, tasting her. after a few minutes he stopped and pulled back.  the whole time he held her close to him with a hand on her back.  he gave a gently kiss on her lips once more.  he nuzzled her and kissed her cheek, "i love you for eternity mouse" he whispers in her ear. "i will take care of the goblin" he says to her.
