Re: Meaghan and Charlie
She wasn't sure what happened, but one minute they were laughing and it felt comfortable, and suddenly it seemed like the air had shifted slightly. Meaghan cursed herself silently. Things were going fine, and she had to make some little comment that was sexual and ruin things. She took a deep breath and nodded. Pull yourself together, Meg she said to herself, and turned around to lean the other way on the railing next to him.
"It is lovely out. A little colder than I thought it'd be, but I guess I wasn't planning on the outdoors when I dressed," she said with a smile. "Oh yes? What did you get him from Romania? I got him cufflinks. Which normally sounds lame, but these are Irish threepenny cuffs. I thought he might like them," she said, looking over at Charlie and trying to catch his eye. She hoped he didn't just want to go back inside. She was having a nice time out here. And standing so close like this, she could almost feel the heat coming off him. His smell, which of course drove her crazy, was so strong right now it was making her a little dizzy. She'd already been inappropriate, but she couldn't help a longing to nuzzle her nose in his neck and take the scent in even more. Instead, she took her hand that wasn't holding her glass and set it on top of his.
