It was too nice of Memphis to say such things, but there was a part of Jane that remembered life before John, a life when she had been happy and confident, if a little shy, and had been able to hold her own in conversation. It seemed she did more now, she was just, less out there about it.
Of course the kiss came as a complete surprise, and she was so totally not ready for that. Her eyes widened, and she almost squawked, her mouth opening slightly, but this was Memphis, and he'd kissed her before... on Halloween she'd done a lot of kissing him too. Surprise it might be, unwelcome, not so much, and although she wasn't quite kissing him back, she most certainly was not pulling away.
