Thanks again for commenting! I love going through and reading these from someone who's reading the entire thing at one go :)
The kissing scene was actually pretty hard for me to write. Like, as difficult as writing some of the more graphic rape scenes (there's a scene I just posted in the sequel where I had a similar reaction to writing something that should seem like nothing in comparison, but I won't get into it here). I think you do a very good job at explaining why though. Meaningless sex is such a mainstream idea that it's almost cliche, but the idea of a simple kiss carries a sort of innocence with it somehow. It's something that people link to little kids with their first crushes, or first boyfriends and girlfriends, and it's important to people on a non-carnal (but still highly emotional) level. Putting it into this kind of scenario feels so wrong.
As soon as I had written that part, I started writing twice as fast. I didn't care that it had happened before and I just hadn't drawn attention to it, I was all, "Oh that is it. Pack up guys, we are getting you out of there right now."
And yes, I do actually talk to characters while I write. Makes it a little awkward to write in public, but what are you going to do? XD
