Aww, Claude. The rink doesn't really count when you're forced to do that to leave... There's some more leniency in party games because you can choose who you kiss, but...
Even if a kiss is just a kiss, there's no one you'd choose to kiss above others here?

Stop that.

Are you sure you want to know? You should already have a guess.
no subject
Yves? I guess it's different when you're in love.
no subject
[ sorry to subject him to this, but she glows with her love, inwardly and outwardly. ]
Will you answer your own question?

I don't think that's enough to make you cry. [ ... ] Besides, they've all been mostly the same to me.

No one has sparked any kind of feeling?
no subject
[ Just last week at the rink alone. ]
But not really. A kiss is just a kiss.

no subject
Do you think there is, for me?

You don't have to be in love to want to kiss someone although it does make it nicer.
[ as they've established. ]
