...Damn, he's a big idiot for missing whatever signals she's dropped.

"No, I... I understand why you might." Harry laughs nervously, moving himself so he can sit next to Lisa instead of across from her. "I mean... I. I've kept to myself for the last few years, until I got here. It's... so weird to be so open."
Harry hesitantly puts an arm around her shoulders. "It's so damned unfamiliar, and. I'm kind of scared myself about being involved with someone again, but it's good kind of scared. The kind I'd be more than happy to face, because, um."
Damn, when he gets on a roll and just. Stops.
"You're..." He hates being so nervous. He doesn't want to screw this up and he's already worrying too much. "You're worth trying for. Everything. And I'll never leave you behind."
