“I haven't decided yet,” she responded, which was the truth — though she affected a tone as though she had not given the matter much consideration yet, which was not.

She had been more interested in the idea of being kissed than in Mr. Steighton specifically; she certainly had no desire to marry him, nor would be be suitable for such. So perhaps it was better to not? On the other hand, if she wanted him to kiss her again there was a very narrow window of time — between now and summer break — where in Willa's estimation there was no consequence for doing so. Perhaps she ought to seize the opportunity while it existed?
