She smiled sadly. “I’ve been wanting to ask you that too,” she said softly. “I was just… thinking … I don’t want you to stay at your dad’s, Ry. Everyone knows that’s bad for you. I was just thinking, because there is that extra room, we could be more like roommates in that sense for a little while. You have your space, I have mine. I mean, I… think us being all serious relationship wise should go on the back burner until we can sort things out with you, you know? If you still don’t think it’s a good idea, that’s fine. I was just thinking.”

Things had been a lot better, especially now that Ryan could sort of see things from his side. “I mean I… I want to,” he told her. “I want to with you, I do. I’m just afraid that we’ll… Jump. Into things.”
