"No!"
*She swallowed.*
"No. I don't. Which is precisely the problem."

*Tony stared at her in shock.*
"What...what are you saying? Exactly?"
Don't faint. Don't scream like a little girl. Also: don't faint.

"I don't get attached," *she began slowly.* "I just... don't. I know better. "
*She met his eyes and shrugged, still managing to make it look graceful.*
"But... my typist has a massive crush on you." *She sighed.*

*He rested his elbows on the table and leaned forward, channelling the deadpan hotness of Patrick Verona.*
"And I'd like to think I knew better than to fall in love with DEATH," *he said seriously, following it up with a somewhat flirtateous and charming grin, though.*

*She laughed softly, shaking her head.*
"I've got a job to do. A function to fulfill. And getting attached to silly boys doesn't fit there in very well," *she said.*

*His brow furrowed.*
"I'm a silly boy? Well, I mean, I know I'm a silly boy, but...do you really think I'm...just a silly boy?"

*She shook her head.*
"Not at all. *She shook her head.*
"Not at all. You’re so much more... There wouldn’t be a problem, if you were only a silly boy. I wouldn’t be-*
I wouldn’t be falling in love with you.

*There. She’d said it.*

*Tony stared at her dumbly for all of ten seconds before he leaped to his feet with a joyous whoop. He stepped around the table long enough to kiss her with fierce exuberance before he jumped up onto his chair and then the table, standing with his feet firmly planted between the soup tureen, bread plate, and bottle of wine.*
"SHE'S FALLING IN LOVE WITH ME!" *he shouted.*

*She put her face in her hands, mortified and shaking with silent laughter. Her face was bright red as she gave an apologetic smile to various affronted patrons of the inn.*
“Tony, get off the table,” *she ordered, giggling.*

"Well yes Ma'am," *he drawled, jumping off the table with easy grace and landing beside her. He dragged his chair with one hand to sit next to hers and sat on it close by, leaning his head in beside hers.*
"So tell me more about this loving me in return thing," *he said softly.* "It sounds FASCINATING."

((My expression right now: ^_________^ He's so CUTE.))
"Don't get all full of yourself."
*She couldn't stop grinning, so her stern tone was ruined.*
"You make me smile when I'm around you. Even though I know I not supposed to."

"Well, good." *He grazed his lips against her ear as he whispered.* "Because there's nothing in the world like your smile."

*This only made her smile wider. She turned her face to meet his eye for a moment- and then she kissed him joyously.*
