*The girl frowned at the linens as she sat in her bed. The sleep had started restful enough, but upon waking she found a lingering sense of foreboding. She had wronged Vincent and knew now that she would have no chance for peace until she made amends.
Now all she had to do was get up the courage to do so. It was that very fact that left her sitting in bed, worrying about the details of such an apology. It's not as if she could say 'sorry, I was freaked out by someone you killed'. That would probably not go over so well. She licked her lips in perplexed thought. The solution would not come. But she did know one thing; she couldn't sit in that room forever.
She rose and checked herself in the room's small mirror, righting her dress from the sleep she had managed. Vowing to herself to find Mr. Dawson and set things right, she grasped the doorknob with determination and started out into the hall.*

Vincent had moved on to the front yard, John had asked him to trim the large tree in the front; John would have done it himself, but he'd been called off to the hosptial by Miss Isa to help an older woman home.
Vincent only wished he knew how to drop everything just to help someone, but that wasn't the only thing on his mind.
Standing on the ladder, he stretched his back.

*She stood there a moment, a bit surprised to find him (though why she would be was a mystery, still she hadn't prepared for it). The girl stared, frozen in the moment, unsure of how to even start this conversation. Her lips quivered, various comments and apologies forming and vanishing as her dainty hands fiddled with her skirts.*
"Uh, I'm sorry." *Her eyes widened at the sound of her voice escaping unexpectedly. Her fingertips lifted to rest against her lips, half-expecting to prevent her from speaking again. Unable to look at him in that moment, she was worried he still would be cross at her.*

Turning quickly he almost fell off the ladder "Woah!" grabbing on he stood there for a second, before turning to her with a smile.
"Ya scared me love" moving down the ladder he smiled "and there ain't nuffin to be sorry about."

*As he hung precariously in the air a moment, the girl started forward in panic, arms lifted to steady the ladder. He righted it before she managed to do so and she grew embarrassed, her hands drawing back to her chest shyly.*
"I--I didn't mean to..." *She started, shaking her head as she studied the ground at the base of the ladder. It was safer in a way. Well, in a lot of ways. She took a few breaths to calm from the concern for him before trying again.*
"I...I shouldn't have treated you like that. Like I did...before." *She shrugged, her thoughts balling up in her head even as she tried to sort through them.*

"It s'all right really, and Mr. Bristow he told me that-" he pursed his lips for a moment "-he said you know the things I've done. I'm sorry you gotta bear that burden Miss."

*Her eyes widened briefly at the admonition and the girl shrank back.*
"Oh. Uh...he told you?" *She squeaked. He said that he wouldn't. A worried look etched in her face. But then again, how else could he have explained it? She fussed with her skirt nervously, suddenly even less sure of how to deal with the situation.*

"Well 'e didn't tell me 'ow, said I wouldn't understand" he shrugged "an tha's all right, ain't my business. He said you jus' know things." He smiled again "So no, 'e didn' really tell me, 'e just said you knew, an if that means you don't want to associate with me Miss, well-" he looked down at the ground "-I'm not sure I would like that, but if that means you wont get sick, then- that's all right."

"Oh no!" *She squeaked, hand outreached as if to take his. But she stopped there a moment, still trying to process everything. John hadn't told him. But he...he still wanted her company? She almost couldn't believe it. Her lip tucked between her teeth briefly and she shrugged.*
"I, uh...it's not like that." *How could she explain it that would make it less freaky than it actually was? Her hand lowered slowly to her skirts.*
"I...I like..." you. "...spending time with you." *It was a strange sort of half-truth. She did want to spend time with him, just not the rest of them.*

He exhaled "Good, good, I'm 'onestly tryin to make things better and if my first attempt at that fell apart" he smiled "I'm glad you don't 'ate me."

*The girl laughed nervously, twisting a lock of hair around her finger as she kept her eyes averted.*
"Hate you?" *She sounded surprised.* "If anyone should be upset it's you. I mean, I...I was the one that all..." *She shrugged to imply the previous encounter.*
"I didn't mean to...be like that." *She never did, but it didn't mean it hadn't mess with her life before.*

"Well, I gotta a lotta ghosts in me past, the memories-" he stopped, trying to keep things light, he didn't want to bring the girl down any further than she all ready was. "Sorry, an' s'all right really, you 'ad reason."

You have no idea. *Her face scrunched briefly at his mention of ghosts, but she did her best to stay calm. He really was trying. It seemed strange, knowing so much about his past. The girl gave a little shrug.*
"Still. I wouldn't mind if..." *What was she trying to say?* "If maybe...you want to try again. Sometime. Or something." *Her brow crinkled as she realized how much of a plan this wasn't.*

*She bite her lip, tucking a lock of hair behind her ear shyly. The girl refused to let herself hope. But she wanted to. So badly.*
"Um..." *Shifting her weight nervously, she tried to sort out some sort of plan.* "Maybe...we could get out of here." *She offered gently. Part of her was screaming about how stupid it was to be away from John in case something went wrong, but the other half was sure that the change of scenery might help. Besides, John wouldn't always be around. Eventually, she'd have to count on herself.*
"I could pack a picnic." *She suggested.* "Nothing...fancy. But, there's a park nearby that has a stream." *She used to, you know, live there from time to time.*
"If you want."
