( So's hers. You get gunshy after your first real relationship ends like hers did with Scott's, and her relationship with Isaac took a backseat to her recovery and her declaration of love on death's door. Moving was complicated enough. She needed the fresh start. )

Good. Because, I may know a good lawyer.

( She laughs. )

Let's keep doing this. If you have a feeling, we carve out time to express it. Because we can't all be like your brother.

No, we can't. And I really don't want to be.

Maybe we should just make time in general. If you're going to be here a while, maybe we should ... go on dates?

[Is that too normal for this couple?]

[matriarchate]

We should. We should let ourselves date. We're not running from anything - anymore - and we have the time. We should be normal and date.

( It's settled! )

[imnot_likeyou]

Great. Then we will date.

[Sam could do with a little bit of normal.]

Should we stop talking about my exes and maybe do something a little more fun?

[He could be persuaded to dance, maybe, if Allison wants to laugh at him.]

Let's take it one thing at a time. Should we fire up the jukebox?

( Nobody has yet, she doesn't think. )

[imnot_likeyou]

Let's do it.

[And with that, off they will go to have some good old fashioned fun.]
