To Alice's knowledge, the only way to escape the enchanted mistletoe was to kiss. And, well, ladies weren't meant to kiss one another, were they? It was a sin, her mother once said. Morally wrong and shameful. Sloane and she couldn't kiss, right?

But, how else would they escape this situation? It wasn't as though there were any professors around to help them, which meant they had to bear it for long enough to disarm the mistletoe. "Right, easy fix." Alice repeated, though she made no move to close the distance between them.
