Ahh, another day in the life of a romance novelist, spending long hours
fantasizing about a lingering kiss--that all-important first kiss scene, to be
exact. It's a tough job, but if I need some assistance, I can always find a bit
of inspiration on film.
Clark Gable bidding Vivien Leigh farewell on a bridge outside Atlanta, Cary
Grant and Eva Marie Saint seducing each other on a train--I love to sigh over
kisses that hint about forever and last nearly as long. In
Learning Curve, I splurged
on an I-shouldn't-be-doing-this-but-I-can't-help-myself first kiss scene that
spread across ten pages.
A memorable kiss would have to be from The Notebook with Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams. This is by far an award winning kiss. I Love the fact that it was shot in the rain which contributes to the pathos.
