"Derek is not going to fall in love with me, Stiles, stop." She laughed, shaking her head, teasing. "Not before he falls in love with you because are you serious, have you seen you? You're sweet and funny." She nudged him gently, playfully.
It was a fair idea, to ask Derek for one, and she tilted her head, trying to decide, before she shook her head. "Sure, he'll give the niece of the woman who killed his family a deadly weapon to use." But still, a small part of her was sure she'd ask. After all, he could only say no, right?
"I don't think... love really plays into these people." She added, as an afterthought. "I mean... Can you imagine my dad with more than just my mom? And her actually tolerating it? She'd probably blind anyone who even looked at him the wrong way."
