Lila took his words in when he said “I get that. We’ll figure it out so you don’t have to!” This made her feel calm and even more safe. He then went on to talk about their trip to Chicago. “Sounds wonderful. A game or two sounds amazing.” He then went on to talk about his feelings about the date more. “I get that” She smiled then he said her putting his her hand on his leg was fine.
She smiled as they talked and sat there close to each other. The time seemed to go by so fast. She was having such a great time talking with Owen. She blushed when Owen said he was thankful for her as well. Then before she knew it. Owen said the dreaded words. “You know, time really does fly when you’re having a good time. How about I walk you back to your dorm? It’s been an awesome day, and I want to make sure you get back safely.” She didn’t want this to end. She didn’t want to go back.
She sighed “I guess you’re right. We better be getting back.” He then reached his hand out to help her up. She placed her hand in his as she stood up off the bench. As she stood up her eyes met his. Their bodies almost touching as she stood up. She stared into his eyes wanting to know what was on his mind. She kinda wanted to kiss him. However she was scared to do so. She hoped maybe he would ask if he could. If not in this moment maybe when he walked her to her dorm.
