Fire dances between her fingertips, lighting the darkened room. She breathes deeply. Another ice cube forms in her drink as she kisses me. She closes her emerald eyes, and focuses the flames in her hand. A deep breath, and then the bolt of fire flies around us, lighting each candle. She flicks her other hand. Ice and fire meet and vanish. Her eyes open.
