Sol closed his eyes, tilted his head up for a moment before opening them and meeting my dazed gaze. He leaned his forehead against mine, and said the last thing I ever expected.
"I've been searching my entire life for you."
I burst out laughing. I couldn’t help it that had to be the funniest thing anyone had ever said to me…ever. I rested my hand on my stomach, and was bent over at the waist when I heard him clear his throat. I looked up, immediately sobered and stood tall, staring him in the eye.
"Does that line generally work well for you?" I asked with as straight a face as I could manage.
He shifted his weight, raised his hands in mid-air and said, "Usually. Women tend to fall at my feet, and beg me to take them home."
"Arrogance and egotism know no bounds, I see."
"When you've lived as long as I have, you take your kicks where you can get them.
