”Really?” This caught her completely off guard.

The prospect of Jillian actually saying yes to her invitation was never a real one, hence why the dark haired scientist mouth fell open before she could stop her own body. Recomposing herself the best she could, Rebecca nodded,her voice no more than a mumble.

“Uh, I—okay then.” Straightening her back, Dr Gorin cleaned her throat, placing her hands on her pockets. “Fine—uh, I’m making the food so, if you could bring something to drink, I’d thank you a lot.”

She would’ve mentioned what she wanted — red wine, as usual — but that would make it sound like a date ( which it wasn’t. Nope. No.) and she didn’t want to freak her out. Perking up for their definitely-NOT-a-date thing, Rebecca allowed herself to smile a little bit before commenting.

“I hope you don’t mind natural,homemade food…” she wondered out loud “Otherwise I can buy something else for you—if you want.”

The was the first time she had ever seen her mentor falter, ever, in her entire career with her. Holtzmann found that she liked it, this flustered state, and it also made her notice things she would have otherwise overlooked about Dr. Gorin. She was flustered, and the blonde felt herself stuttering and blushing with nerves. This felt like a date. “I’d love to bring drinks. I can think of a few things.”

She wanted it to be a date.

Her brain quickly cycled through all of the information she had gathered on Gorin over the years, filtering through the other woman’s preferences. “I’ll eat anything you give me. Sounds fun.” Then she winked.

Oh god she winked. No no no no, Jillian you idiot, you blew it all. You just creeped her out big time, you dingaling.
