[ota] time will tell....

Clive had spent the morning in his office, not behind his desk but...rather in front of his dry erase board. It was covered in a web of links and possible solutions to various inter-suit issues that peppered their troubles.

Scrubbing a hand through his hair, he licked his lips a moment.

Leaving his offices, he didn't pause to speak to many. No, no...The King of Spades was intent on tending to his business of the day as quickly as possible, it seemed. But what that business was might well have been up for debate.

Well, Amy had never been good at sharing what was going on in her head, either. This was, really, the first time, in any relationship, that she had ever addressed her concerns to the person the concerns were about. And maybe that's why her arms were so tight around him, why she wasn't worried if some of the makeup on her face deposited itself on his shirt or jacket, or if it meant he got a little wrinkled.

"Can- we maybe try to not be distracted long enough to have dinner together tonight? PJs, animals, movie, and food ordered in, to be eaten on the couch." It's not the best date night, but it's the kind she was comfortable with, so she hoped that he would agree.

"Of course we can, but...only if I actually leave the castle to do my work, you know." He teased lightly, offering her a soft smile.

"You have to have faith, love. If you don't, it's never going to work out."

"Mm, I guess I can live with that compromise." But only if she could steal a kiss to make it worth waiting for. "Sorry to have stopped you. Just...thought it was important to talk about, I guess." And she did feel a little better, so at least there was that.

"I'm not good at havin' faith, baby. Every time I count on somethin', it blows up in my face." But she wanted this, badly. She wanted it to work, wanted to be happy with him because he did make her happy. "But if you think you can deal with my brand of crazy, maybe I can bring you home to meet the family sometime soon." Obviously, he already knew her family, but that wasn't the point.

The point was advancing their relationship a little bit; they'd already been together for almost six months.
