Harry's Office
What should I read next, The Call of the Wild or The Gun Seller? Both have been sitting in my paperback stack for months. The stack's in no particular order. It's not even really a stack. More like a bunch of books tossed into a box. These two just happen to be the ones I plucked out when I reached in with both hands.

Decisions. Decisions.

Rosa drummed her fingers against the doorframe of Harry's office door for about five minutes before she actually knocked. She'd sent back Esteban's ring about a week ago and sure enough, yesterday morning she had gotten an angry phonecall from her father.

He'd been ... oddly understanding, despite all the yelling they had done. She'd had to apologize for waking up her neighbours, but it had been good in the long run.

And now things were at least heading toward settled.

	"Door's open," I call. I'm still trying to decide on a book. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She steps into the room -- all right, maybe she intentionally dressed up a little -- and gives him a shy smile. White heels and a dress to match. Definitely dressing up. "Hello, Harry." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, Rosa. Have a seat," I say without looking up from the paperbacks I've been staring at for the last half hour. When I do look up - holy wow. I try to stand but successfully crack my knee on the desk and end up wincing in intense pain and landing on my ass in the chair again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	And she decides it will be a much better idea to go around the desk and see if it's all right. She rests a hand on his knee, looking concerned. "Are you all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 12:33 am UTC (link)
	There's a hand on my leg. A feminine hand. It's attached to a lovely smell that's definitely coming from her. And suddenly my mouth is dry and I couldn't speak if I wanted to. Okay - I do want to and I can't. So I just nod my head. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Good." And because she feels much less guilty about it, she stays just as close to him and moves in to kiss his lips reasonably soundly. "Have you been well?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My hand slips and knocks both of the paperbacks on the floor. The kiss isn't bad, just surprising. Again, I'm lacking speech skills and can only grunt, "Mmhm," in response to her question. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 12:54 am UTC (link)
	He knocks the books on the floor and her obvious response to this is to turn so she's facing away from him to pick them up. Which gives him a very good look at her ass. "Clumsy," she teases very lightly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 01:07 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah." At least it was an actual word this time. What the hell is going on here? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 01:08 am UTC (link)
	She sets the books on the desk again and ... perches herself next to them. Her skirt has hiked up a little and she hasn't noticed. Rosa tilts her head, curious. "Are you ... all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 01:11 am UTC (link)
	"Actually, that's my question. To you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 01:12 am UTC (link)
	And a smile sneaks over her lips. "I am ... good." She holds up her left hand and taps her ring-finger. Completely free of rings. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 01:22 am UTC (link)
	I squint. "You lose it?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 01:22 am UTC (link)
	She pouts at him. "No." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 01:34 am UTC (link)
	Believe me when I say I'm confused. "You sent it back? That couldn't have gone well." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 01:34 am UTC (link)
	"Better than I expected," she admitted, "after the yelling." Lots and lots of yelling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 01:44 am UTC (link)
	"So, what was the ultimate outcome of the yelling?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 01:46 am UTC (link)
	"Father ... understands. He's unhappy, but ..." Well, she thinks Clara told him something that wasn't true in order to make him happier. And she smiles a bit more radiantly than she's been able to in a while. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 01:58 am UTC (link)
	"But... what?" I'm not one to let unfinished sentences just lay there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 02:00 am UTC (link)
	"But he ... didn't tell me never to come home. So that's ... good." And totally leaves her free and clear for ... other things, Harry Dresden. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-04-30 03:08 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. That's good." There's supposed to be another reason why that's good, right? Man, I need to get more sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-04-30 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"You haven't been eating again." She frowns, giving his arm a gentle squeeze as she slides close again. "I should make you something tonight." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wizard_dresden 2008-05-01 02:27 am UTC (link)
	"Hey-" I'm a bit affronted by that. "I've been eating." Not all that well, mind you, but I've been eating. What's wrong with doughnuts? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mightbeamermaid 2008-05-01 02:28 am UTC (link)
	She arches a brow. "You know what I mean, Harry." And ... well, all right. She's blushing again for no reason at all except she's thinking about how she's not exactly tied down any longer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
