Mornin’.

Morning.

You’re staring at me.

So are you, but I’m starin’ at ya because ya look different. I don’t know, something about yer eyes look different… but yer eyes are always like that.

What do you mean?

Sometimes they look like how they are now and other times, they’re more squinty-lookin’.

Oh, that’s just part of my ethnicity coming in and out of view. Lighting and makeup can do wonders to change someone’s face. It’s doesn’t help my sleepy face is out.

Ethnicity? What are ya?

Ako ay isang-kapat na Filipina.

*chuckles* I have no idea what ya just said.

*smiles* I’m a quarter Filipino. My mom is half herself. Sometimes it’s visible with makeup on or even enhanced. Then again, my eye color throws everyone off because of how violet they can be.

Yeah, yer eyes kinda do.

Does that make me less–

It doesn’t make ya less anythin’. Beautiful is always what you’ll be to me.

And what about you? You’re tan for a red-head.

Native, Irish, and German.

Fitting because you have a strong face…. with soft lips.

*smiles* ‘Says the one with the plump lips.

Hey, they’re my natural lips and most women would die to have them.

…..Any day a man gets to wake up next to the woman he adores is always beautiful day…. good mornin’.

*smiles* Morning. I’m just waking up and you’re already trying to charm me.

I made ya smile, so I didn’t need to try.

No… no you didn’t need to try….. you by yourself makes me smile for reasons I’m too unsure to say….’

Why is that?

….. I don’t want to talk about it, Lawson.

Sinclair, that’s fine by me. Ya know already how I feel and now, I gonna continue to wait for ya tell me how ya feel….. even though, I already know how ya feel.

….. If you know, then why do you need to hear me say it?

Because I’ve learned it’s easier to do it than to say it.

I thought it was the other way around.

Not with you.

………….

I can tell ya I love ya until I’m blue in the face, but it won’t mean shit if ya don’t feel the same….. and that scares me because I am completely crazy if denied ever imaginin’ spendin’ the rest of my life with ya and then not bein’ able to because ya might not love me back and tire of me.

….. That’s a lot.

Yeah, I know, but when ya love someone, ya can’t help it…. and I don’t wanna help it; I wanna go insane with ya by my side.

*smiles* How insane do you want to get?

….. You wanna take a trip down to the courthouse?

*laughs* Ok, that’s insane.

*smiles* I’m bein’ serious.
