I'm very excited to read your stuff again!  I should be reading all the other stuff I've been putting off, but I couldn't resist!  

I love the way you take us through this small scene and put in small, lovely details: the way his hair pools in her lap, the way he moves her pencil.  And the dialogue!  It is so witty!  

His low chuckle vibrated through her. “Chemistry is beautiful in its simplicity.” He slanted a look at her through his bangs. “You are only complicating things within your mind.”

“What do you mean?” She flushed at the tremble in her voice.

He turned to face her fully and her heart skipped a beat. “Forget numbers. Forget equations. Think only of the forces at work. Everything in chemistry comes down to one immutable, fundamental law.”

Her fingers tightened around the strand of hair. “Which is?”

He looked at her with dusky gold eyes and she found herself transfixed. Their faces were so close that she could feel his words ghost across her skin as he spoke:

“Opposites attract.”

She swayed forward slightly. “Isn’t that physics?” she asked breathlessly.

“No,” he replied with a slow smirk, his mouth descending on hers. “Chemistry.”

I can reread this last scene over and over and NEVER get tired of rereading it.  You have a lovely way with words, and I am so exceedingly happy that I can read your stories again and fall in love with your writing and characters all over again.  Thank you so so much for sharing this here too!
