"He said very little about your conversation, but believe me, that's a compliment." She takes another sip of the rich drink before adding in quiet amusement, "I know exactly how hard he tries, every time, but it's part of his charm."
The last thing she wants to do is remind Amelia of her own relationship problems, but it is impossible not to talk about Caspar without a great deal of affection. Her love for him is an unshakeable bedrock, the foundation that keeps her current fears and doubts from toppling her over. And despite his own worries, he has remained a paragon of support. Together, they are weathering this storm.
"It is a big place," she agrees, although that brings her little comfort in the context of where 'Josh' might be lurking. The teasing remark about choice of plays makes her laugh a little. "Yeah, fair enough. I think Caspar has sworn off all musicals for a little while." She tilts her head thoughtfully at the suggestion, then leans in and admits in a hushed voice, "I'd like to go dancing with him. But... well, neither of us really know how. I mean, aside from contra dancing, but he's not going to want to touch a bunch of strangers. It'd need to be somewhere more private than that."
She thinks back to Amelia's impromptu dancing lesson at the Halloween party, but she'd rather not bring up that night for a variety of reasons. And, now that she takes a moment to look at Amelia, she has the feeling that prattling on about wishful romantic activities with her boyfriend is not a great subject choice. "But, anyway, there's plenty of time to look into that. Did you want to try looking for a hardware store now? Maybe one is literally around the corner."
