"Everything takes a second when a person is getting to know someone and the things that we have been through in our past play a part as well but I mean once I got here to the states I told myself that even though I had a past I was not, well I was going to try and let it not effect me as much but it still does but I mean slow pace wins the race." She eyed him. "I do like the thoughts of loving in the here and now, and the wine too," she said as she let out a genuine laugh. "You are nice and I love that." David Lightfeather

David listened to what Peyton had to say and smiled when she looked back at him. She sounded a little happier too as she laughted. Not many women ever said he was nice either. "Slow and steady works for me too. And lets see how far we can get. I like you Peyton and the past can't hurt you now" he quietly said. He truely meant it and this isle was the best chance they had of building a new life. Peyton Coldstone

She knew that the past had to eventually be let go but she did not want to hurt anyone or get hurt. "I think we will know when the time is right for anything to be honest. None the less I would truly like to say thank you for just extending an invitation out to me. I know it is probably an every day occurrence for everyone else but it was special to me so yay."

David heard what Peyton had to say. It might take a while until something further developed but he'd wait. Peyton was special and she deserved good things. "You deserve special things not just good ones. If you ever need anything let me know" David replied as their dishes arrived. He thanked the waitress too and when they were alone again sipped his wine again. Peyton Coldstone

She turned her head once again as she looked at him. "I could use just a very little help finishing my apartment. Specifically they said that I could paint it and I have a nice blue shade that I think will go good with the kitchen, do you think that you could help me with that?" She took a second and scooted a bit closer to him. "Is this okay?" she asked. She did not know what proper being close to someone was. "I do not mean this to sound prude but it's been years since I have been this close to a man. I am just trying to take in the moment and see what it is like, what it feels like. Start with the small things and work around them," she said honestly. "It's also not rare but not as common that I find someone who has the same shade of hair like I do. It makes me happy."

Being asked to help paint a kitchen was a bit of a surprise but he chuckled hearing this. He did say she deserved special things after all. "I could certainly help with the painting" he replied adding "do you have everything you need for that? If you don't I can also help you get it." Then she scooted a little closer and David didn't mind that in the slightest. So smiled again. "Thats more than ok Peyton. If you need to start small and work up thats fine by me. You take all the time you need". Then she spoke about finding another redhead in her life. Even he didn't come across that many and here was one sitting across a dinner table from him. She was also great company. "I could say the same. Us redheads are pretty rare to start with never mind working in the same organisation. So now there's two happy redheads on the isle that must be something special?" Peyton Coldstone

"I have everything I just have not gotten started with it is all. I have mostly been trying to understand work and get adjusted to life here on the island. It's a lot bigger land that I am used to being able to navigate honestly." She was trying to see how he reacted and so far he did not seem to mind and that way okay. "I am glad that we did this," she said. "As for anything else I will go as slow as I need, what about you David, no special person in your life?" David Lightfeather

David started cutting up his dinner as he listened to Peyton. He also had an idea which could help her out; and not just by painting her kitchen. "Then I can start painting when you are ready" he cheerfully replied. Then added "if we got a map we could plan some trips. Then you can get to know the island better". They also might count as dates. Peyton did have a question and he also answered that. "I don't have that special person yet". He hoped it could be the person facing him across this dining table but they'd figure this out over time. Peyton Coldstone

Peyton listend and she looked over the food once again. It was perfect but she knew that nothing was perfect and still this, everything on this island seemed as if it was so which honestly scared her. "Oh," she said exctiedly. "That is a wonderful idea. I would rather do the exploring with someone else than by myself. I mean I am always cautious but doing it with you rather excites me." She was always honest and she did not know if that was good or bad but she also knew that you only lived once. "Me either," she said. She knew that relationships did not happen over night but it still did not stop the warm feelings going on. "Well to a good night none the less and now I do not have to worry about if I want to ask you out again, all seems to be clear without worry in that department." David Lightfeather

Peyton seemed to like the idea of them exploring together. They'd also discover the weirdness together as nothing was quite what as it appeared on maps. There might also be a lot of normal things too like beaches and walking trails; even seeing trawlers going out to sea. That thought made him smile a bit more and they did have the time to figure all this out. That made him remember something else. He'd need walking shoes to deal with rough terrain. As to her asking him out that seemed fair and natural. He'd suggested dinner in the first place and the good feelings he had for her would also grow in the same ways hers would. "That all sounds good to me and when you want to start exploring let me know. After we get your kitchen painted" he replied smiling more. Peyton Coldstone

Work had always came into her life and honestly took over but she knew that was because she did not have anything else that she wanted to take the time off for but getting to know the island or what it getting to know David was such a good feeling to her. "I can do like a friday early afternoon or a weekend. If it clashes with our work I can wait until we can both be off but we can easily get started with the kitchen." She knew that it was such a simple task but it did have her happy. She took a second to look up at his hair again and slightly ran her hands through it and noticed how soft it felt. It would have seemed silly to anyone else but to her it was a good feeling as she took a minute to close her eyes and just take the feel in. "Does that feel okay?" she asked. David Lightfeather

"Its easy to plan round the rotas Peyton" David softly replied. There was always a way round their shifts if you wanted a a particular day free. "I also don't want to leave your apartment messed up any longer than necessary" he added smiling. The touches on his hair felt strange initially but she seemed to like doing it all the same. So no need for him to be concerned. "It feels good. Much better than OK" he added softly. Dinner was kind of left to one side for now but they still had the wine. He sipped a little more and his hand touched Peyton's free hand in return. Peyton Coldstone

She was, well there was still a lot that she was trying to understand. She wanted people to know that life could be better and she knew that apart of knowing that was knowing it for herself as well. She was going to move forward and not make any more excuses. "You know coming out and doing this tonight is probably really good for me in the end. I obviously want to do it again but I also feel like we should add in some things that you like to do as well. If we are going to be hanging out we need to be equal in everything no?" She turned into his touch and then removed her hands. "I"m glad," she said. "Your touch is nice too," David Lightfeather

David listened and figured just were he could take Peyton. A pub with pool and darts didn't exactly sound romantic; perhaps a trip to a cinema but there was a lot of outdoor places to go too. He'd just have to think of something special for her. "We certainly do Peyton. How about a cinena trip?" he posed feeling good things from her touches. Other ideas that were forming that the back of his mind would have to wait quite a while so he squashed those down. He could be sure it just wouldn't just be him and and his dog anymore.

"That sounds good to me," she said. She had always knew that she was not the type to be lonely but still she also knew that nothing could be rushed but this with David felt good. "Okay well, it seems we have a good bit of things planned. Oh, I have some research that I need some help with. Could I get your help with that too?" She needed to be good at her job so that she did not lose it. David Lightfeather
