Baldosas amarillas en guerra de Danielle Paige
A kiss about the end of the world. A kiss that said good-bye, and I'm sorry, and I wish things could have been different. A kiss full of longing for the life we'd never have together, the things we'd never know about each other. But it wasn't long enough; it couldn't be. We were about to die.

We were both silent for a long time, looking deep into each other's eyes. He was so close to me. I could smell his faint rich sandalwood smell. I could have reached up to brush their hair out of his eyes. I could have leaned in the barest amount and our mouths would have met. And I wanted it so badly my heart was thundering in my chest.

He refused to meet my eyes. The distance between us that had sprung up last night felt even stronger now. I wanted to say something to him, reach out. But I didn't know how to cross the gulf I'd somehow created. I'd been the one to push him away, but I was already regretting it.

This time there was no mistaking the hurt in his voice, but I turned my back on him. It took all the strength I had not to look back at him as he watched me walk away.

We weren't just soldiers who fought together anymore. My feelings for him were way more complicated than that —and I'd thought he care about me.
