"Tomorrow, with the tide" she says with a grin "So you better come over here.." I move over and join her on her side of the boat, its cosy and we are ...ow touching she takes my mug and puts it on the side and she leans in. we kiss properly and i can taste the red wine in her mouth, her hands pull my head so our mouths meet.
