Marlene took his hand and squeezed. "You know me. I go full speed ahead and stop after I hit something. I'm... not used to waiting for anything, sex, ice cream, answers. We do this your speed, whatever this is, but expect some prodding and nodding, because if I leave it entirely up to you, it'll take us another twenty years just to figure out that yes, we just kissed."
She kissed his cheek and smiled. "No, it's not a problem with sleeping, past the usual," she added with a grin. "I could try to play the good girl, but that would be really weird, and I'm not ready for weird. I talked to you just to avoid weird."
