Aquel no era el ambiente que él había soñado, pero entendió que sólo tenía ese segundo para dar su primer beso. Decidido, acercó su ansiosa boca a los pálidos labios de la mujer. No hubo rechazo ni susto; por primera vez, su desfigurado rostro no causó la típica repulsión que siempre provocaba en las chicas.

Aunque fue un beso corto (tan fugaz y tímido como tierno), le bastó para hacerlo sentir el más feliz de todos los hombres; una felicidad que se vio interrumpida por la llegada de su jefe. El Comisario entró al cuarto, observó la escena, y sin mirarlo a la cara, le ordenó cubrir el cadáver y terminar con la experticia.

First Kiss

That was not the atmosphere he had dreamed of, but he understood that he only had that one second to give her his first kiss. Determined, he brought his eager mouth close to the woman's pale lips. There was no rejection or fright; for the first time, his disfigured face did not cause the typical repulsion he always provoked in girls.

Although it was a short kiss (as fleeting and shy as it was tender), it was enough to make him feel the happiest of all men; a happiness that was interrupted by the arrival of his boss. The commissioner entered the room, observed the scene, and without looking him in the face, ordered him to cover the corpse and to finish with the expertise.
