Her smile faded slightly as he seemed to have a different look towards her. She swallowed as she noticed him coming closer and closer until...she returned his kiss for a few moments then pulled back to look at him. "I take it this is your better perspective?" Her green eyes looked to him as she blinked a couple of times. It was nice to have someone to be close too, even if she were missing the one she loved.
Robert smiled as Lyra looked at him and he nodded, "Yes...that is if...." Hmmm...maybe he should have asked her first. He looked at her and ran his hand through his hair nervously before whispering, "I can't keep doing things how they've been doing and wishing it was different. I...I like you Lyra and...I
think well thought you might like me as well.." She had kissed him back after all, surely that was a sign. Reaching into the bowl he pulled out a grape and ran it in between two fingers trying to find his words. He was at a loss for words now too? He looked at her and smiled, "I've gotten used to having you close by. Every where I turned you seemed to be there and in a way...when we don't see each other during a day it just isn't the same. You're lively and mischievous and...." He realized he was babbling and turned red and ran his hand through his hair again, "Well...I was wondering if you would like to go out with me...like more then friends..." A step forward or just a side trip...he still had yet to see but he knew he couldn't keep things up the way they had been.
