She listened as he spoke, a small smile gracing her face as she looked towards the ground, the tops of her lightly freckled cheeks tinting pink at his honest words. The fog that was settled in her mind began to fade away, bit by bit, allowing her to see what she wanted more clearly. She knew that he hadn't meant to be so free with his words, and she didn't hold anything that he had spoken against him, he was simply being honest. She looked up to him through her long eyelashes, biting her lip and smiling. "It's okay that you said that, it's flattering, really, I just hoped you don't expect that off the bat. I'm working on it, i'm trying but it'll take some time." She said this softly, looking at his hand in hers and back up to him.<br/><br/>Feeling this way about someone was exciting, all of it was. Always eager to see them, hear them, everything. She enjoyed the feeling, and could get used to the happiness that he had brought her recently. To prove to him that she was trying to get back to that place where she was comfortable with, well, everything, she stood up and offered her hands, pulling him up with her. "Okay, look, proof that i'm getting better." She took a deep breath and gently set her hands on his shoulders, glancing up to him. She took another breath, stepping closer and slowly closing the distance between them, kissing him for the third time. This time she was comfortably able to drape her arms around his neck, easily melting into the embrace. This kiss was softer, delicate, a way to show him that she wouldn't hide in the dark forever. When she pulled back, her arms still around his neck, she smiled widely, winking at him playfully. "See? Progress, at least I can do that, it should tide you over," she teased him (and would continue to endlessly).<br/><br/>She eventually stepped away and cleared her throat, glancing around. "So I believe I heard something about food earlier?" She inquired with a head tilt, a small laugh escaping her lips as she ran her fingers through her hair. She was glad that she's giving him this chance, and once this was on the right track, they could worry about the more important things.
