Summary
At eighteen, Max has never been kissed, even though there are a lot of people she wouldn't mind kissing - more or less every girl in her dorm at Blackwell, in fact. Getting the chance to do so would require some kind of magic spell or something, though, probably. And what are the odds of that?
