[There's a soft exhale as he's finally recomposed himself and he leans against the door frame.]
Same here.
[...And he's still uncomfortable about it, for many reasons.]
It's obvious we can't take all of what happened to seriously since we don't know what was genuine and what was under the influence. We could stay here spinning our thoughts, but I think the more practical way is to figure out...
[He looks at her. Really looks at her. Looks at her with the same eyes he always had...and note the changes now that it's been colored by the other night.]
...Where we go from here.
[Another beat before he looks away slightly.]
We can either ignore what happened and try to act like we did before. We could accept it and just carry on with just some...better understanding of each other.
[Physical. Understanding. Apparently.
And then another beat before continues a little quieter.]
...Or we see if anything really did change between us.
[Attraction.
It's at least more clear that both don't want to sever their original relationship, and really even after all this he could deal with either of the first two options. It might take some time, but as long as they can still interact with each other, that's fine enough. They're adults, these things happen, it's not something they need to begrudge or hang up over now that they've talked things out a bit.
But the new issue that seems to be lingering between them is... Do either of them see each other as more. Do they want something to develop between them? And if they do, is it better to quit before they're in too deep and get hurt, or just risk it and go with it?
Thus it's a question of should they end it here or...peek through that door.
A door that, for some reason, he's not completely ignoring right now when normally he would.]
