Vince stood outside Christine's door, smoothing his hair down for the fifth time. Of course, it was quickly followed by him frustratedly combing his hand through it messily, trying to make it stick up in all the right places like it had before he'd donned his motorcycle helmet. He'd never been one to forgo his helmet, unless someone else rode, but he really should have considered it tonight.
At least his attire looked nicer tonight. While he didn't look bad in pressed suits for security jobs, he certainly felt more comfortable in more casual slacks and fitted shirts. Not to mention the fact that his riding jacket was far more comfortable than a blazer, despite the heat that radiated inside of it when he wasn't zooming along.
While he wasn't one to get nervous, he was definitely feeling a twinge of something unusual. Somehow, this was different than that evening a week ago. His chest was almost aching with tension, and he couldn't help but wonder if her presence had done this to him. When he was with her, he felt calm and relaxed and open. Now, standing outside on her doorstep, he was without that strength. He could only tell himself that the sooner he knocked, the sooner she'd be there. And maybe then he could stop feeling these nerves.
He took another deep breath, then finally brought his hand down to knock a few times on her door.
Even though she'd be expecting him, he still leaned close to the door and gave a cry of, "It's Vince!"
