Bruce stood up and walked toward Elizabeth. What's going on? Why is he coming over here? She had a funny feeling she wasn't going to like whatever was going to happen next.
Before she knew what was going on, Bruce was sitting in front of her, craning his face towards hers. When she saw him pucker up his lips, she thought she was going to faint. I'm supposed to kiss him, she realized in horror. She looked around at all the expectant faces, then back at Bruce.
