Am I supposed to believe [ plucking the flower from her hair and examining it like he's never seen it before ] I'm the first guy who's seen the inside of your room?
[She's not sure what that says, if it says anything at all. Instead of considering it, she wanders to the flowers on his bedside table, brushing her fingers against one.]
[ Now he's tempted to touch her, just to see if he can feel out how much of a lie that is--c'mon, they aren't exactly blushing virgins here--but she's moved away from him. ]
Yeah. Sucks for your secret admirer. [ The fiction of it is amusing enough to keep up, even as he's reaching for her hand to pull her in close. Whatever he felt a moment ago, now it's cheerful lust. ] Speaking of seeing you in it--
I mean, I already got a preview here--[ fingering the visible straps at her neck with his free hand, the backs of his fingers skimming between the lingerie and her skin ]--so...
You think so? [ His other hand's at the small of her back, finding its way under her tank top to the vinyl and satin underneath. ] I could let you go right now, let you find your own way outta this.

[She drags the word out, very dramatically.]
I think you did it.

[ He snorts, like this is the most ridiculous idea he's ever heard, but only for the joke of it. ]
What gave you that idea?

[ But he's grinning. ]
Coulda been anybody.

[She tilts her head, all feigned thoughtfulness. God, he's cute.]
Maybe. But you're the one who gets to see me in the gift, so...

Yeah? Oh, you wanted to do that now?

Well, a preview's probably all you need.

You're good at puzzles, right? You should teach me.
