His lips are soft, the kiss is firm, and delight races up my spine. After years, Dain is finally kissing me.
The thrill is gone in less than a heartbeat. There's no heat. No energy. No sharp slice of lust. Disappointment sours the moment, but not for Dain. He’s all smiles as he pulls away.
It was over in an instant. It was everything I’ve ever wanted…except…
Shit. I don’t want it anymore.

Danny: Does he make you laugh?
Tess: He doesn't make me cry.
Tess: He doesn't make me cry.
Jim: So what'd he say? Was [your parent's divorce] my fault?
Pam: Yeah. He said that you told him how much you love me. About how you feel when I walk in a room. And how you've never doubted for a second that I was the woman you wanted to spend the rest of your life with. I guess he'd never felt that with my mom even at their best.

The energy emanating from her felt staticky and jumpy, and Link was worried. He knew he probably shouldn’t ask her about it, but he didn’t like seeing her so agitated.
“So what’s wrong with the Prince?” he finally asked. Zelda stopped in her tracks and whipped around.
“Whatever do you mean?” she asked, eyes glowering. Yeah, probably a bad idea to ask but it was too late now.
“Well you had trouble sleeping, you said you needed distance from Gerudo Town, and you’re about to throw yourself into research as a distraction. And this is all after what happened...last night. So...what’s wrong with the Prince?”
She sighed, slouching in defeat, knowing she couldn’t keep up the facade anymore. “Wow, you’re amazingly intuitive,” she muttered.
“Not intuitive, just observant,” he corrected.
“Whatever. It’s just...I don’t know how to feel. Well I do know how I feel, and it’s guilty because it’s not how I’m supposed to feel. I’ve known Ganon for over six months now, and he’s been nothing but a complete sweetheart and theoretically a perfect match. But...I still don’t havel any romantic feelings toward him. I feel no spark. At this point I’ve just accepted that it’ll just be a platonic marriage, which isn’t bad, there are worse things out there. And then...he kissed me last night. And now I’m worried that he might be in love with someone who doesn’t love him back the same way, and that’s not fair to him. I feel like a failure to both him and my kingdom, and I really wish I had my mother’s guidance right now. But...she’s dead, so I’m all alone!”
