Leaning In (A Musing*)

Apparently, nothing can be done to save face after leaning in for a kiss when the other person is not interested. If I lean in to kiss a girl, and she backs away, I can't tell her that I saw a mosquito on her mouth, and I wanted to eat it. She would see right through that.

*According to my dictionary, the word "musing" isn't a noun anymore, only a verb. Once upon a time, though, it was a noun. I have used it as a noun. I hope nobody cares.
