Can I kiss you?
Michelle에게는, 그 순간, 과연 모든 것이 clear했을까?

I halted the car in front of his building, my mind still in blurry over-drive. We let an awkward beat pass, each waiting for the other to initiatea good-bye. Barack cocked his head at me.
"Should we get some ice cream?" he said.
This is when I knew the game was on, one of the few times I decidedto stop thinking and just live. It was a warm summer evening in the citythat I loved. The air felt soft on my skin. There was a Baskin-Robbins on the block near Barack‘s apartment, and we got ourselves two cones, tak-ing them outside to eat, finding ourselves a spot on the curb. We sat closetogether with our knees pulled up, pleasantly tired after a day spent out-doors, eating our ice cream quickly and wordlessly, trying to stay aheadof the melt. Maybe Barack read it on my face or sensed it in my posture-the fact that everything for me had now begun to loosen and unfold.
He was looking at me curiously, with the trace of a smile.
"Can I kiss you?" he asked.
And with that, I leaned in and everything felt clear. - P107
