Let the moment go… Don't forget it for a moment, though

( She's not crossing a line, or if it is a line, it's a line he's wanted to cross. They've had moments. He though they'd had moments. But, she never acknowledged them, or it was the wrong time. Or, it felt like AA. How can you have a relationship in recovery. But, he has a handle on this thing.

She's gentle at first, delicate, and he welcomes what she "says." )

[Well, if he's going to welcome it, she's just going to keep going. Maybe even move in a little closer and completely forget the fact that they're technically still in public.

But after a lingering moment, she'll pull back to catch her breath.]

So ... yeah. That's what I wanted to ... say.

[widenecked]

Well said.

( He brushes his fingers through her hair. )

I like you, Caroline.

[vampireboulevard]

I like you too.

[She nods as she looks up at him with a smile.]

And I really liked that. We should ... definitely do more of that.

[widenecked]

Yeah. We should. I wanted to. I've - wanted to. We will. You said you didn't need a ride. Meet at your place?

( She can keep her independence. )

[vampireboulevard]

[She nods, with a small smile.]

Yeah. Sounds like a good idea. I just have to make sure Ric is all good.

[And maybe get some coffee so that she doesn't fall asleep before they can do more.]

[widenecked]

OK.

( And a man always feeling the most while doing the minimum, he is good for that, stands up and pulls her to her feet once she puts her shoes back on. )

[vampireboulevard]

Okay.

[She takes his hand, getting to her feet with a smile.]

I'll see you there.

[And with that, she goes off to find Ric and see if anything else needs doing.]
