The Invisibles (2015)
“by the time everyone got into the car. Nora pretended not to watch as Henry and Grace said their goodbyes in front of the house, but it was hard to look away. Despite his anxiety, there was an ease to the way he touched her, smoothing the palm of his hand over her forehead and then letting it slide down the small of her back until hooking it along a belt loop on the outside of her jeans. Even the way he kissed her seemed easy; full on the mouth, with no hesitation at all. You are mine, his move...ments seemed to say. And I am yours.
Theo had never kissed her in front of anyone; they had never gotten comfortable enough for that. In private, though, he had kissed her with such confidence and sometimes with such urgency that she felt as if he were sucking the breath out of her body.

Now, watching Henry with Grace, she felt that same kind of longing pulse through her and then settle like a stone in the pit of her stomach.MoreLess
