"Okay, don't say anything.. or think too loud.. I don't think I'll be able to finish if you do." She took a deep breath.
"I had a really nice time," she said, wincing at how cheesy it sounded. "Um. I should probably feel more guilty than I do..." She wasn't feeling great about Rose's lecture, but that wasn't what she would've expected to feel. "I wasn't really myself last week. And you probably already know that because you weren't yourself either, but.. but the point is... This worked better in my head."
She ran a hand through her hair. "Jon, I really like you. But my last relationship..." She frowned. "My boyfriend died. And.. I'm not really over that. I'd like for us to get to know each other and be friends and.. maybe more? But I'm still having a hard time getting through this." She wasn't looking at him; for all she knew he could've fallen asleep. "I.. I'm feeling better than I was a week ago, and I think you're a big part of that." She blushed.
