Unexpected, but good.

She tugs Dani's head away and to the side - kisses her jaw - her grip is amazingly strong -

Dani strains, trying to turn her head back. She wants to kiss Carmilla.

She laughs - holds her in place - nips her jaw - lowers her lips to Dani's neck - 

‐ And then freezes suddenly. 

"-Carmilla?"

" - It's nothing." She pulls back a bit - lets go of Dani's hair - and kisses her like tomorrow will never come. 

Dani really, really hopes it doesn't.

Tragically, the world will keep turning... Though a personal tomorrow could be prevented.

She really shouldn't miss the first day...

"Not a good girl like you."

"Got to think of my reputation."

"If 'a good girl' is the reputation you want."

"It's easier to start from there than to get back."

"Going to give your future reputation serious thought, then?"

Nod nod. "Daddy told me I should be careful with it."

"So you like doing what daddy says?"

"When he has good advice."

"Then it's high time you form your own opinions," she teases. "Advice doesn't need to be heeded."

"Why wouldn't I take advantage of it?"

"Of the advice?"

"Yeah."

"Taking advice into account is different from following advice."

"I guess?"

Tiny smile. 

Smile!

Back to the dorm, then?
