Park near Harry's apartment
It isn't that Rosa stops paying attention on purpose ... it's more that she does it without really noticing. At least it's still early in the evening when she steps into the park so there's nothing dangerous, but unless someone taps her or she runs into them, she's probably not going to notice them.

She's thinking -- about what she's going to do with her engagement ring and with her engagement in general, about how Harry is and how she should go to see him, about the papers that she has to touch up or finish off.

"Little girls shouldn't be out by themselves in the big bad city," speaks a voice from just over her left shoulder.

She glances over her shoulder, just a little dazed, and smiles.

"Ah, but I wanted to ... think."

"So you go for a walk out near your boyfriend's place?" He steps in time with her, not breaking stride.

She shrugs a little. "Something like that." More like she's waffling between visiting him again ... or not.

Beat.

"He is not my boyfriend."

He doesn't even bother to hide the grin.

"He's not your boyfriend? You don't act like he's not your boyfriend."

She holds up her hand -- and for a moment it might look like she's giving him the finger -- but she's showing him her engagement ring.

"...he's not."

Van Helsing pinches her ring finger between his thumb and index finger.

"But you don't want this," he indicates the ring. "You want him."

She frowns.

"Well ... yes. That is what I have been trying to figure out. How to ... well."

At least it's now 'how to' and not 'if I should'.

"How to... what?"

He peers at her. "Come on now, tell me."

[info]mightbeamermaid

She frowns.

"How to send this back." She glances to the ring. "And ... then to figure things out with Harry."

Van Helsing arches an eyebrow.

"You want to send it back?"

"Well...yes." She's just not sure how.

"I don't know."

"It's either yes or no. There can't be anything in the middle. You've said you don't want to marry this Steve, right? So, pack up the ring, send it back with a Dear John letter and be done with it." He releases her hand.

She frowns. "I do not want to marry him, but I know that my family will be very disappointed and I do not know how to make it easiest on them."

"Just tell them you don't want to marry him. It shouldn't make any difference if they want you to be happy." He shrugs. "Or, tell 'em to fuck off. It's your life."

She sighs.

"I will tell them that I don't want to marry him." In a long, articulate letter.

"I know," she purses her lips.

"I'm just ... worried about what they will say."

[info]i_vanquish_evil

He tips his head. "What can they say? The responses are limited. They can get angry, they can be happy or they can not care. What else is there?"

"I don't know. They could disown me. Keep me from seeing my sisters and brothers. Any number of things."

She fidgets. "Tell me not to come home."

"I do not think so."

She bites her lip and sighs.

"If he's not, then why should they care what you do?"

[info]mightbeamermaid

She sighs. "Because it is still important."

Van Helsing sighs.

"I think you might try even Carl's patience. And he was rather forgiving of stubbornness and ignorance. I don't think I was ever as stubborn as you."

She frowns at him.

"That's not a very nice thing to say. I am just very ... careful about things."

"I didn't say you were stupid. Merely - uneducated. Not an insult. I used to be far more ignorant than you. That wasn't my fault any more than this is yours."

He frowns. "But you are a stubborn woman."

She crosses her arms across her chest and frowns right back at him.

"And that is bad?"

[info]i_vanquish_evil

"Not always. But you are very stubborn."

He narrows his eyes and peers down at her.

"I think you can manage to convince him."

She smiles just a bit shyly.

"I hope so."

"Own it, Rosa. I know I'm not the most chipper person, but I do have my own brand of optimism."

She grins and shakes her head, leaning in to kiss his cheek.

"Yes, you do. I think I will go and see Harry, though."

"I will go to see him once I write the letter back to Esteban," she amends, although she'd been planning to do that first anyway.

Van Helsing arches an eyebrow.

"Oh? And what do you plan to tell your intended?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]mightbeamermaid

"That is private."

She shakes her head. "I should go and do that." Before she loses her nerve.

He rolls his eyes. "I didn't mean to give me a word-for-word. Just the basic subject matter. I'm not that interested in your life." Despite every action and phrase to the contrary.

[info]mightbeamermaid

She blinks a little and smiles.

"I don't know yet. But it will come." She leans in to kiss his cheek politely.

"Thank you for your ... unique brand of help."

[info]i_vanquish_evil

The only thing he can do at this point, is arch an eyebrow at her.

"Don't go out after dark. I'll know."

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She pursed her lips, but nodded.

"All right, all right."

Van Helsing can only grin.
