She Splits Her Lip

"Then they kiss so hard she splits her lip."
--Brendan Adkins, from one of his stories

The story this comes from was the main one up when I Stumbled across Adkins's website last year, and I was struck by this line. Without saying it directly, the author perfectly conveys the hesitating, vulnerable desire of the girl and the immediate pain of giving in.
