There's nothing quite like the awkward silence, the bashful glances and tender touches. Don't forget the bad breath, lack of makeup and stale perfume smell.
Ahh, the morning after!
They're one of my favourite scenes to read and write.
There are so many places we can take our characters following the emotion and physical buildup. Whether we have our characters making out, steaming up the mirror in the bathroom or its the hot and sensual love scene - there is always the emotional let down that follows. The uncertainty, self doubts, nervousness and awkwardness all come in to play.
It's at this moment that I find real life comes into play. This is where we take our experiences, our memories and use them to their advantage. Do you remember what happened after your first kiss? Or the first time you woke up and realized that it wasn't all a dream - there was someone sharing your bed and they were breathing on you?
There's also the tiny flare of hope that comes along with the morning after. The flashes of a future you've been dreaming about, hoping for, wishing for. The whisper of longing for what could be.
What is it about the morning after that you love?

Love it, girl!! Love it. And where did you get that banner? It's SO cool!!
The best morning after scene I've ever written was when my female interest got completely drunk and puked over everything, the male interest carried her back to his house, put her clothing in the washer and dryer, they went to bed, and they kissed when she finally woke up the next morning, before she brushed her teeth of course.
