Despite their proximity, despite the fact that Daniel was obviously flirting with her (and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't been flirting back), the kiss still surprised her. That in mind and if only for the briefest of instants, she tensed. When that moment passed, when she relaxed, she let out a breath through her nose and kissed him back gently, one hand coming to rest at the side of his neck almost tentatively.
