The kiss was a sort of goodbye and "Well I'm not going to ignore that you and I had something going on, but I'm not going to make it last longer" sort of thing. That is, of course, up until Sun shows back up in the plot, which is very likely. And I also heard that Ilia is staying back with Blake's parents (awkward) so that leaves Blake near only one person who potentially likes her.

It's about context. However, I've heard that Blake basically says that she hopes this isn't the last time they'll see each other.

Which implies slight romance there, with Blake being hesitant to go further because she doesn't know if they'll ever see each other again but hopes they will.

We'll have to wait until the episode comes out to find out for sure what the true context is. I feel like that "but I'm not going to make it last longer" part conflicts with what I heard about her hoping they'll see each other again, so I can't help but wonder if the report you're relaying could be painted by a hopeful Bumbleby shipper.
