Who Needs a Dream? Who Needs Ambition?

Love was trapped in fire and crashing into water. Love was being left alone. At least, in Lex's mind. This...this couldn't be love because Lex felt like she was flying. Like when she'd almost died on the bridge. So even if she could speak in the moment, the words wouldn't match. She too had to use her return kiss to answer him in kind.

Wrapping her arms around his neck, she held onto him to give him permission. She was ready and waiting, wanting this more and more every second. "Please Tolya...I need you."
