With The Dread, first kiss was the beginning. Second kiss was the end.

Might not live long but I know I'ma die happy.

Great relationships create great characters. Make them feel real. Alive. Tangible and unforgettable. Bad relationships kill them. Bury them. Make you wish they hadn't wasted your precious time.

Who was this girl who thumbed her nose at two kingdoms and did as she pleased?

O, here
Will I set up my everlasting rest,
And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms, take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A dateless bargain to engrossing death!

Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete.
