“What this has to do with you is that I’m asking you out.” She stops herself from laughing, was she not being straightforward enough? To be fair to him, most often she would say things like that with a sort of sarcastic note, catching most off guard when she was sincere. Perhaps this was one of those times. She stops walking, gently pulling on his arm so he might do the same and so as to directing him towards a bench so that they can sit down and talk. It’s something to do with this botanical conservatory, the ambient is just conducive enough for her emotions to actually flow freely. Maybe it’s the fresh air, or the abundance of life that has catalyzed her her to take this leap - or maybe it’s his presence, calming and giving her a solid struture for her to cling on to. She fidgets for a moment, hr fingernails digging into the soft skin of her palm as it forms a fist, as if she’s preparing for war, for a defense in case anything goes south. “You know once this whole set-up is done and we’ve got the money. It might be good, might be worth exploring...if you’re up for it.” If you’re up for it ....it’s such a loaded comment. Is he up to waiting when work drags her away? Is he ready to give chase to her - the ever fluctuating specter in red?Â
