They walked on in some more silence, admiring the lights. He played the scene over and over in his head. Stopping, turning to her, pulling her to him, maybe stroking her cheek or something, using the scientific method to discover if those lips tasted as sweet as the ripe berries they resembled: Experimentation.
But he couldn't work himself up to do it. It had been so, so long since he had even kissed a woman, let alone hold hands with one. Maybe he should slow himself down. Pushing one's luck wasn't good, right? He'd take the hand holding for now, and if he felt like she was into something more, then he'd act. Yeah, he'd totally act if she gave him a sign. Just needed to look out for that sign.
He squeezed her hand back and kept walking straight. As the one with longer legs and the larger stature, he sort of automatically lead the way. And he had autopiloted to the tram. He had been so caught up in his imagination that he hadn't said or done or noticed anything.
"Oh, hey, uh," He cleared his throat again. Damn thing always having a frog in it. "We can take another lap around the lights, don't have to board now."
