What's your favorite line of narration from a current WiP?

From something non-comics I'm hoping to post really soon: If Sami is drunk on life, Kevin feels like he’s drunk on Sami: buoyant and bright, like he could laugh, or sing, or murder someone. You probably don't know Kevin, but suffice to say I think it captures both his relationship with Sami and his way of looking at the world.

Though interestingly, looking for this has made it clear to me that dialogue is more my forte--nearly all my favorite lines in a story are dialogue. (That's next week!) What's a line or a few lines of narration you're happy with in a WiP this week?

I do indeed know! The way I function in writing is the characters are speaking everything out in my head, and while I do sometimes see key gestures, the physical setting (establishing that is probably my weakest point) and much of the movement and other narrative 'glue' is where I flounder.

Though your 'dialogue is where a relationship blooms' has me thinking, it would be an interesting challenge to write a fic centered around a scenario where the characters cannot speak, seeing their chemistry/romance evolve purely through body language.
