The elephant slowly nuzzled her cheek with its trunk. It felt hard and itchy.
Sheffield was about to say no on her behalf, but Evelyn took one step forward and said to the man, "Okay."
Hell, she had never kissed any animal before. And she wanted to give it a try.
The man instructed her to stand in front of the elephant. The long trunk moved towards her mouth.
Sheffield was visibly upset. 'Even I haven't kissed her yet. Can't believe that the elephant beat me to it.'
The trunk was about to touch Evelyn's lips. Suddenly, Sheffield pulled her back, grabbed the trunk and put it on his mouth instead.
The elephant sucked his lips in. It was so hilarious that the people around them roared with laughter.
Even Evelyn chuckled.
The cameraman seized the opportunity and took the picture of Sheffield kissing the elephant and Evelyn smiling like an angel next to him.
Once it was all done, Sheffield dashed to a faucet and started rinsing his mouth repeatedly.
His breath smelled like tree barks and bananas. "I wish I had a sterilizing solution," he said in dismay.
"If you did, were you going to take your mouth off your face and have it immersed in the solution?"
Sheffield dried his mouth with a tissue. "Didn't know you could crack a joke."
She ignored him.
