"August... are you.. " Confusion "I don't understand"

A grin. "No, it's ok." He hugs her. "I'm glad you've come so far on your journey."

She hugs back, STILL confused "I guess?"

"Yes, and... ah. Well, Coradel and I would, ah, like to play soon. Sometime. With you." As if that needed explanation.

A laugh "Well, that's the first thing you've said since my speech I've understood" And a kiss, "Let me know when, but ah, not Saturday."

"Okay." He says, smiling.

((pause))

"Ok, so.... I am still not sure about, ah, locations but... it isn't something that bothers you." Confirming.

"It isn't" she says "Honestly, of all the things that bother me, that never even occured anyone might think it bothered me until you mentioned it"

He nods. "Ok. You will let me know if that changes?" Holding her hands.

"I will." She says and smiles

"Good." He leans in and kisses her cheek.

She smiles when they part, "You are so sweet. I could just eat you up. "

He grins a bit sheepishly. "Ah. Thanks. You, ah.... " he stops and tilts his head, regarding her.
