Neva first kiss:

Just after she turned 10. First, a few things you have to understand: In Greece there's no legal drinking age. Parents sometimes let kids have a few sips of wine. Her first kiss was at a family party that her friend Theodora's family was having because some of Theodora's relatives were visiting. There was wine at the party, and no one was watching who drank some. Neva had a little. Not a lot, she wasn't drunk, but she had a little. Just enough that felt a tiny bit giddy. Neva and her friends were hanging out in the yard, with Theodora's cousins who were close to them in age. One of whom was cute. She kissed him that night. They kissed twice more during the duration of his visit. After that, she didn't see him for several years because his family visits and her summers at home didn't line up, until last summer. She saw him again then, and was disappointed to find that he wasn't a cute as she remembered.
