Sunday
Rowan
Good morning and Happy Easter!
Just checking in to make sure you’re still up for our trip to the homestead today.
If you’re not feeling well or something, let me know. I’m just used to seeing you up and moving by now.
Claire … are you avoiding me?
Claire
I’ll be ready in a few.
Rowan
I’m sorry again about making things awkward last night.
That’s not completely true. I could never regret kissing you.
But I am sorry for putting so much pressure on you, and I’m grateful for your honesty about wanting to stay friends. It also means a lot to me that you respect my boundaries, you know, physically.
I hope I haven’t ruined things by pushing my luck.
Claire
No worries. We’re fine.
Did you happen to make coffee?
Rowan
Yes, would you like me to bring you a cup?
Claire
I’ll be out soon.
Rowan
Can I ask you one more thing?
Claire
Rowan
I just want to know if I’m doing it again, being too nice?
Have I not been convincing enough? Do you need me to be more dangerous?
Or is that not the problem and you’re just letting me down gently?
Because I can’t help but feel like your “no” wasn’t a hard one …
Also, I’m gonna need you to stop being so cute. I can hear you growling at me from here.
