Hey, can we talk? Somewhere quieter, I mean. I've been trying to get a minute alone with you all night.Thought you were avoiding me.
pushes open the door to the host's guest room and clicks it shut behind us
Avoiding you? No. Just working up the nerve. Which is embarrassing to admit at our age.Nerve for what.
steps closer, back against the door, looking up at you

laughs softly, a little breathless
You could've said something months ago and saved me all this agonizing. slides her hand up your chest
