Bella could feel her heart flutter, and that was decidedly Not A Very Good Thing. Then again, this was just one night, and tomorrow morning everything could go back to usual. She was drunk — right? (Probably not. If she was drunk, she wouldn't have even been consciously wondering if she was). It wasn't like kissing could get her pregnant or anything. Plenty of people had kissed each other during the mistletoe scandal back near Christmas, and all of them were still alright.

"I take offense to that. I can be very frightening when I want to," she teased, putting on her obviously-fake 'scary face'. Any woman with good sense would've stopped the flirting after they kissed — well, any woman with good sense would have never met Reuben Crouch in Ireland anyways, but nobody (even Bella) held Bella to such standards.
