"Wait, Mathew Morgan Wheeler? Why go by Morgan??" She's curious

"You don't like Morgan?" The sidhe smiles. She doesn't know half of his effect, beingg unenchanted, but she feels it

She thinks of a few options to answer that. Clearly saying 'I love Morgan' could be taken wrong, "I like Morgan just fine, but Matthew's nice too. I'm just curious why go with the rarer? Somettimes there are advantages to blending"

He looks tickled at that, like he knows a secret

"What's so funny?" She says a bit challengingly

"Just, ... you yourself don't blend as well as you think." he points out "Hard worker, great mother..."

"Thank you" She smiles "But there a lot of those"

Matthew Morgan Wheeler takes her hand and kisses it, seizing her eyes "And yet you stand out. "

Speaking of eyes, they've gone wide. Large and lovely, like a deer in a hunter's sights? Or maybe a buck's view "I... thank you. But I guess, well, it's what I do that defines me. I'm a hard worker because I have to be"

"You are more than that, you're a flesh and blood woman " He looks at her "I worry abbout you being so constrained. I'll get a sitter for the girls. See what you do when the only thing defining you as moonlight and companionship. I bet you excel in areas you'll enjoy"

Ho boy, uh wow. Her heart races "You're..asking me out," She eyes the hand that he kissed "I haven't been onnn a date in feels like.. forever. I don't know if I have... time to..."

"We can make time" He offers "And yes, I'm asking you out. I'm a man, trying to gain a woman's romantic attentions. And while I'll never be dishonorable, I will fight dirty if I have to to try to woo you"

She lifts her chin "Oh? how so?" If he thinks a fancy dinner creates in me any sense of obligation...

His eyes simmer stiring her then he says "I double dog dare you to go out with me"

The laugh that breaks from her is full throated and open, caught off guard, her reserve bypassed

He smilies boyishly

"Oh well," She chuckles more "I can't let you double dog dare me..." The laughter now more reserved chuckles

"Is that a yes?" he asks

"Yes, yes, it's a yes." She gives the night she has off "Arrannge a sitter for the girls and I'll go." A pause "First date. You don't have to impress"

"Oh, I really do" he says with intensity

And she feels a rush of pleasure at that too
