She had dreamt about kissing him so often that the "shock-factor" was gone. But the lack of surprise didn't mean a lack of confusion. She had always found him a bit attractive, but not to the point of fantasizing about him. For some reason, her subconscious suddenly decided to start doing what she had not even thought of doing.
