we show off our different scarlet letters
Uhm? Was this all basically going perfectly? Jack with his arm around her shoulders (okay, around her waist would be better, but whatevs), saying that he wanted to hang out with her, that she was anything but boring (which, I mean, obviously she wasn't boring), and now they were basically going on a date after he'd all but saved her life?
Despite wanting to scream and skip giddily along, Flora remained reserved and cool, and confident, and...you know, all the things that made it seem like this was old hat and totally not a big thing at all.
Inhaling a deep breath of fresh air, Flora sighs and sinks against Jack as her hand falls closer to his hip. "To the Hanged Man." She agrees, singing out the words as if this were some broadway number about to kick off into a musical medley. Flora's mind is so full of what-if's that her mind can hardly get one fantasy off the ground before she's inventing a new one. They reach the Hanged Man before Flora can decide if she thinks losing her virginity on the bar counter or Jack's room in the Ark would make for a better story.
