[Okay, given the sum total of everything that's happened, of each reaction he's had between their meeting in the store and her showing up in the door in her very flattering, very tempting dress, Virginia should probably expect that momentary breaking of his brain when she makes her offer. It's difficult not to be nervous in spite of it, however. There are risks and then there's this, when she's offered to share something with him she hasn't had since before Ed passed. Regardless of everything they've shared that evening, it could still be too much. Maybe he isn't so willing to take that last leap with her as she hoped, and as he shifts, she starts to think of some way to brush it off.
But he isn't moving away from her. No, Robert is drawing near, and as one hand reaches up to brush a stray lock of hair behind her ear, her worries fade away. She feels so strongly, cares so deeply for him, she can't help the way her smile goes bright with that sense of relief. She nods in easy agreement, her lower lip momentarily caught between her teeth as she too turns to better face him.]
Me too. [Just in case he needs to hear it again. She lifts a hand, rests it on his cheek while the other stays on the couch to support her weight. His skin feels warm under her touch, as do his lips, which she discovers with a brush of her thumb. One last leap, and Virginia leans slowly forward, letting her eyes close as her lips lightly press against his in their first kiss.]
