Of course, she'd made this promise when she had no clue what this embarrassing moment was. She had to bite sharply at her bottom lip to keep from laughing as he spoke. It was just... better than anything she'd ever expected.

It took her a moment but she finally got her laughter under control. "You're amazing, you know that?" she asked as she rested a gentle hand on his arm. "Completely amazing."
When he asked her another question, she took a few deep breaths before answering.
