Almost. Three near-kisses. Zero kisses. On purpose.
So close. Still no. Peasants may find this difficult.
- A rule or a magical situation puts them inches apart.
- Three near-kisses escalate; each is interrupted by something outside the pair.
- They exchange an object and arrange to meet again: “Same time tomorrow.”
- No kiss. Candlelight, stillness, breath and close framing hold the tension.
