""Calixta," he said, "don't be frightened. Nothing can happen. The house is too low to be struck, with so many trees standing about. There! aren't you going to be quiet? say, aren't you?" He pushed her hair back from her face that was warm and steaming. Her lips were as red and moist as pomegranate seed. Her white neck and a glimpse of her full, firm bosom disturbed him powerfully. 'as she glanced up at him the fear in her liquid blue eyes had given place to a drowsy gleam that unconsciously betrayed sensuous desire. He looked down into her eyes and there was nothing for him to do but gather her lips in a kiss. It reminded him of Assumption." (144).
Alcee was overwhelmed with Calixta for the moment, and could not resist the temptation to kiss her. Everything happened perfectly for These two. The storm came at the perfect time, and was a bad enough storm to make him go inside. The remembrance of Assumption made them feel what was once felt. But like the storm the feelings where gone, and they both went back to their loving families.
