A smile appearing on her face, she lifts an eyebrow. "Hmmm ever heard of footsie?" she asks teasingly, with laughter in her voice.

Looking up as he asks her about what her thoughts were, she can hear the wariness in his voice. Remembering the last time she mentioned anything about the two of them doing something and his reaction, she wonders if maybe she should stop before she upset him again.

Cautiously she decides to at least answer his question, trying to avoid his eyes, because she really didn't want to see how he reacted. She knew though she'd be able to sense it...but just couldn't bring herself to watch it again. "I....umm...I thought of bringing it to the next level." Maybe he'd understand...she didn't know. They were technically living together, considering they were at each others houses each night...but was he ready for the big "E" she had no idea. They'd known each other for years, and she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Did he have doubts? she wondered...maybe that was why it bothered him to talk about it.
