All that matters in that moment is the connection that leaves you spellbound, for there will surely be moments that follow when those lips will convey something else entirely.
If only we could live in a cocoon of that perfect moment, before life and all its ills kick it into submission. If only if only's were wishes.
A perfectly captured moment of non dialogue Jacob.
