“The First Kiss”
Lewis asks Lana for some moisturiser, leading to playful teasing between them. Lana eventually helps him apply it, and the joking slowly turns into genuine intimacy. They realise how close they have become and share their first kiss.
Performance: Begin lightly and playfully, then let the scene settle into genuine intimacy. The kiss should feel discovered rather than forced.
