She too was a first to him, someone as dedicated and determined, perhaps even more so than himself, though he could say the same about Commissioner Essen in some regard, but he never kissed her (or wanted to).

It was hard to mistake the alcohol in his system, his own cheeks reddened as if kissed by the crisp air, though his skin was hot to the touch. Louise would be able to figure that out instantly as she pulled him in and locked their lips together. There isn't any hesitation from Jim as he returned the kiss, placing one hand flat against the door behind her to steady himself as his free hand rested on her hip as he kept up her pace and deepened the kiss.
