You just noticed?But if it only shows up for guys you like-Don't push your luck, Leo Valdez, she said. I still hate you.Okay.And you are not coming back here, she insisted. So don't give me any empty promises.How about a full promise? he said. Because I'm definitely-She grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss, which effectively shut him up.For all his joking and flirting, Leo had never kissed a girl before. Well, sisterly pecks on the cheeck from Piper, but that didn't count. This was a real, full-contact kiss. If Leo had had gears and wires in his brain, they would've short-circuited.Calypso pushed him away. That didn't happen.Okay. His voice sounded an octave higher than usual.
