Night to discover
Reminiscent of surprise
Swept off the ground shocked
Sudden hug out of the blue
Uncharitable first kiss

  4. I remember the shock. I was 13, and my father interrupted. The boy came back the next evening and asked if I'd teach his best friend. That was the uncharitable, lol.

  8. Ha, you reminded me of my first kiss - at the pinnacle moment my mom turned on the porch light and opened the door and we both froze, thinking we had been struck by lightning. I dont think any other kiss ever matched it. LOL.

  11. I liked the hug, but I don't know about the "uncharitable" kiss. I think in the realm of the senses, being startled is mighty scary.
