The Reader’s Digest (Oct. 1995) had a story by Ralph Kinney Bennett entitled "The Night the World Turned Upside Down." In it Ralph describes the first time he kissed a girl. He had taken Paige to the movie, then walked her home.
"When we got to her house, we stood inside her doorway, holding hands and talking in whispers. It was dark except for a dim light at the top of the staircase. I could hear the hum of the refrigerator, the sound of a passing car, but I only half-heard what Paige was saying. I was thinking about how to kiss her.
