[SEASONAL EVENT] A Palmer for Long Night

How he could be so relaxed about the things he described - screaming? The thought alone sent a shiver down her spine. The creepy laughter had been enough to thoroughly freak her out. This was going to be a very Long Night indeed. She was pretty sure she would have nightmares for weeks following it. But for the moment she had a very good distraction. She was fairly certain if her heart beat any faster it was bound to fail or thump right out of her chest. But...well he was smiling and laughing... was it at her?! Momentarily her brows furrowed in worry, but it was quickly assuaged as his hand ran over her hair. If he was going to make fun of her he would do something like that, right? Her ability to doubt his intent completely dissipated with the compliments. She was smart and a hard worker...and he thought she was pretty; her blush couldn't have gotten darker. Phoebe's lashes fluttered as his lips blushed against her cheek, her stomach doing flips, her heart certainly skipping a beat. She felt frozen in place, her brain stopping for a moment. She was shy by nature and his...boldness was shocking her system. But her lips twitched to small, nervous smile, unable to hold his gaze for very long. "So..." she said quietly. Where did they stand? Was he her boyfriend? Was she his girlfriend? Or...were they just going to make statements about what they wanted and go on as if nothing had changed? Phoebe Be gentle to all and stern with yourself
