Kara let Laurel go, and made her way over to Dev. They stood there, fumbling for words, for a few seconds. Then Kara said, "I hope you come back all right, Dev."
"Yeah, me too, Karaish. And I hope I've got you to come back to." He reached out a hand, traced her cheekbone gently. She grasped his hand, savoring its physical reality.
"If you don't, maybe you know what I feel about you," she said. "Will that be enough for right now?"
"It'll do," he said. "But if there's anything that'll get me through this thing... it's knowing there'll be a chance of seeing you again afterward." He paused. "Believe it. That's not a con, this time."
She wrinkled her nose. "Oh, Dev. I know when you're doing a con-job. Take this with you."
Kara grabbed him around the neck with both arms, pulled him down, and kissed him. They held each other very tightly for several seconds.

I said, 'Kiss me, you're beautiful, and these are truly the last days.' You grabbed my hand, and we fell into it. Like a daydream, or a fever.

Max: (journal entry after kissing Warren) "Considering how insane my life has been this week, kissing Warren in the middle of a deadly storm didn't seem strange at all. It was like we were flipping off the cruel universe, and... if I was gonna die, I at least wanted one kiss from a boy I cared about."
