Call me old fashioned, but I was thinking that I should ask you in person.

[ He also wanted to avoid putting her on the spot. Yeah, it's not like this is a huge departure from what they've already been doing, but still, it's a little different to put a label on it, and it's easier said than done to let go of the feeling that it'll end abruptly one way or another. ]

[unvirgin]

Oh.

Well, you could do that if you want to. [ it does make it feel more official somehow that he wants to ask her that way, doesn't it? she's not just imagining it? ]

[fathertoson]

[ It's not quite what he was expecting, but he's not taking any of it back. ]

You're not used to people asking you out, are you?

[unvirgin]

It doesn't really happen all that often. Especially here.

[ mostly because they're all usually fighting for their lives. ]

[fathertoson]

Seriously?

I mean, yeah, things are kind of crazy here, but were you literally hiding from guys who wanted to talk to you or what?

[unvirgin]

You make it sound like I even had guys who wanted to talk to me.

[fathertoson]

No, I'm telling you that you did. Trust me, you might not have known, but you're way too cute and sweet, they would have noticed.

[unvirgin]

Well, "cute and sweet" isn't everyone's type, Sam.

[ she really is just being silly now. ]

[fathertoson]

Theoretically, I guess? Maybe being smart and beautiful and talented on top of just being an all around nice person would be too much for some people.

[unvirgin]

Oh, that would be a little too much for ME, absolutely.

[fathertoson]

See, that's kind of what I was thinking too, but it turns out that when someone like that wants to kiss you things just kind of happen.

Maybe I was just lucky.

[unvirgin]

Maybe we both were.

[fathertoson]

Yeah, you might be right.

I'm not used to that. Feeling lucky, I mean. Usually it feels like I'm cursed.

[unvirgin]

I know how you feel. Especially since before coming here.

But if there's one thing I've learned, I think it's possible for the people you meet to bring you new luck. Maybe luck you didn't even think you could have a chance at getting.

[fathertoson]

I didn't think I would ever have a chance again.

[ Now's not the time to ruin the mood by explaining why. He'll tell her about it later, and if she wants to she can tell him why she feels cursed. ]

You've done a lot to convince me otherwise, and that means a lot to me.
