They're not... invasive. They test what you can do. What you can't. [ Her tone drops to those soft and vulnerable ones. Waiting for him to outright reject the idea. Not that she can blame him. She just hoped that if he knew she went through them it would be easier. ] We don't have to. It was just an idea.
[ She guides him to rest his head on her shoulder properly. The idea of invading her space or even being too much of a weight seems ridiculous to her. They've slept together both intimately and simply sharing a bed since he's started living with her. They were intimate in the near endless loops. There is hardly a private space between them and she oddly finds herself not caring at all for it.
« Besides. I invited hi. To lay close. » ]
We'll start by going out. Doing things people do. Once you're used to it... the haircut and dates can happen later.
[ Though, them merely going out for coffee and shopping is sort of a date. ]
I would have been the third wheel. Unnecessary. [ Jesse makes the harsher conclusion. ] I'm sure the other me realized that as well. Competing against Alice would of been something I wasn't interested in. She wouldn't have been interested in it. Just... easier to leave and pretend we weren't there at all.
Especially if you two were still married.
[ She isn't sure how her younger self wrapped her head around the situation. Maybe the fact that the other Alan was going through a divorce helped. Or, maybe, they have the same connection she does to Alan. That pull that demands everything circle around it no matter what else is happening. Maybe that pull is different for their counterparts. Stronger. ]
Well, you reached out to me first. Any sort of meeting happened because of that. So... I guess you just thank yourself. [ She gives him a smirk. ] Not that you like doing that.
[ Her hand turns to slide her fingers between his. Then, a squeeze in return. She knows what he's saying. Now, if only she could lure him to sleep. ]
You don't need to thank me. Bringing you home was just as selfish for me. But... you're welcome.
