She lets him claim her hands, and she swallows tightly as he finishes. A shaky breath and a nod...then a wry smile. "Sorry if that was...if I'm being pushy or...whatever...."

"Wait, were you wanting to tonight?" He seems surprised but he doesn't mock or fuss, "I'm not ..wow. Sylvi, answer me a question? Besides that one I mean. Am I the one holding us back from that when you want to?"

"No, I...it's..." She hesitates. "I think I want to, Colton. Sometimes I'm...well, pretty sure of it." A bit of a blush. "And I guess...I think..." Deep breath. "I don't want it to happen on Samhain, when we won't remember the details, but I think it might if we...well..." She trails off, then says, "Plus, you know...big bad thing coming, and I...I don't want to wait and then something happens...." she shakes her head. "Maybe those aren't the best reasons. And maybe I'm thinking about it too much," she admits.

"Maybe" he says gently "Okay. Not samhain. period. That will not be our time for our first ... you know, moment"

"Okay. Yeah. Good." A bit of relief now that that, at least, is out on the table.

"By the way? The 'not samhain' thing? Not a sacrifice on my part. NO guy wants to have his lady go 'I really don't even remember how good you were?" a bit of smile

A little laugh. "Well, yeah, I mean...not exactly the kind of feedback the lady wants to hear, either."

"So...okay...not tonight...and not Samhain." She nods.

"Definitely not," He says, and he kisses her gently, "And your'e not going to die. You're going to live"

She frowns a bit. "I'm...not so much worried about me," she admits.

"Doesn't make it any better for you though. I know. You have family and friends who will be in this. It's got to be looming over you."

Her gaze goes to the floor, though her hands are still in his. She shrugs and nods. "I'm doing what I can to get ready, to help. It's just...look, Colton, I know you aren't part of a Lodge regularly, but you're part of Rivervale, and I know you'll come to help if the threat comes to us, and you've just gotta not die, okay?" A bit of a rush.

"Come here..." He pulls her towards him, "Some promises we can't make. But I promise you this, knowing that soon we might be together in a way that means so much, that gives me legendary reasons to live." And he kisses her before she can really argue with that, a promise in his lips that he will fight for this night to come. And will not go gently should the reaper come for him.

The kiss is soothing at the same time that it's inspiring. She's in no great rush to part from it.

And the jukebox plays gently on
