    “I can feel you because I dream about you, ” I said immediately.
    Then she said, “I can live for you because…”
    Then we both said at the exact same time, “I always have loved you.”
    “I believe you,” Juliet said , staring into my eyes .
    “I believe you , t o o,” I said. Joy surged through me like a grand epiphany. It was all making sense now. Everything I had felt and seen now made perfect sense. It was all for her. Everything I had ever lived, thought, or done, it was all for this love.
    “What is happening?” Juliet asked.
    “We found each other,” I said
    “I knew you’d be here, ” Juliet continued.
    “So did I.”
    “How could you?” s he asked. “You have never met me.”
    “ I had seen you on the subway and I knew there was something between us. Even before, I saw you. I felt you. I knew you existed, I just hadn’t put my finger on exactly what it was.”

    I smiled, “And you, with me. ” I let go of her hands and put them around her shoulders and brought her body close to mine as the mus ic continued to play. This was destiny and I knew to my very core that t h is is what I had dreamt about . This is where my heart is. My heart knew she was close. My soul knew it was preparing to find its mate. My subconscious was preparing me for her …t o have t his moment. We both stopped dancing and I held her tight .
    Juliet leane d back and looked me in the eye and said, “This will be hard. ”
    “The hardest and mo st difficult thing in our lives, ” I added.
    “Why don ’ t I care?” Juliet laughed.
    “I feel the same way, ” I said. “ A Montague and Capulet here in this place , holding each other. Wait...you know I’m a Montague, right?”
    “Of course I do. That has never mattered to me.”
    “I never want to leave you.” I leaned in and our lips were inches apart. I could fe el her sweet breath on my lips. We continued to stare and like a magnet our lips touched and held together, one warm flesh. As they did so, an electricity of all the lights in Time s Square electrifi ed my senses. W e slowly kissed one another and jolts of joy zapped through me. It was a very slow, methodical kiss, as if each time our lips touched, it was a rediscovery. We k iss ed without a worry in the world.
    Although the joy and magic I had in my heart had overwhelmed my common sense , t he sight of a werewolf and a vampire in a romantic lip lock did not go unnoticed.

    I let go of Juliet, and as I did so, I fe lt a horrible low, a terrible fall from grace and a stunning blow to the heart, as if I was dis connected from my very truth.
    Capulet grabbed Juliet ’s hand and rushed her to the front of the infield toward home base. B efore I kn e w it , Tybalt was on the scene. Not only was he on the scene, he was madder than Capulet himself. Tybalt was Juliet ’s cousin.
    Tybalt rushed to me and pushed me to the ground. I fell on my butt and slid. I didn ’ t even care. I didn ’ t even get angry. I got up and looked him in the eye and nodded my head.
    Just like our kiss didn ’ t go unseen by the Capulets , Tybalt ’ s push didn ’ t go unseen in regard to my friends. Within seconds, there was a face - off. And what was once a nice friendly party had now turned into a typical Montague and Capulet face off.
    “It ’ s okay,” I said to everyone. “I just slipped.”
    “You didn ’ t slip. You dog, I pushed you. Juliet is here to see the host of our party. Not some chew - toy loving canine. ”
