Or in your bed.

[As the case here is.

It's hard to fight the smile that threatens--he's never really seen Vera's bitchy side so far, but at the same time, considering how she can get sometimes even when she's teasing and playing around, he can see the situation as she describes it.]

That's something you'll have to ask her. But apparently she sees something in you besides the rich heiress, so that's a start, right?

[She traces her finger around the edge of her glass, watching the top of the water shake as she does.]

Should I just... ask her? I mean, that's not exactly a romantic question.

[darkinferno]

[Dante shrugs.]

That's true. But if it's going to keep bothering you, it'd probably be better to ask her up front now. Otherwise it'll keep nagging at you until it's all you can think about.

Besides, who said it couldn't be a romantic question?

[He knows that if Ari asked him, he could probably have her blushing in ten second flat, just by being honest with her!]

[heiroglyphs]

If you know a way to phrase this so that it sounds romantic, I'm all ears.

[darkinferno]

[Is there a romantic way to ask it? He'd more meant the answer could be romantic... Dante takes a moment to think about it, trying to come up with the best way Vera might be able to ask.

And then, with a hint of a smirk:]

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways
Why do you love me? It haunts me all my days.

[heiroglyphs]

[Alright, that draws a laugh.]

God, you're such a doofus. Be careful with that word, alright? It's dangerous.

[darkinferno]

What, love? [He's laughing too--you did ask, Vera!] Yeah, I know.

Asking's always gonna be awkward. But her answer might not be. Just be prepared to tell her why you like her, too, and you'll be fine.
