[If Gai is trying to get Elizabeth to swoon before they even leave the apartment, he's succeeding.]
[Elizabeth blushes and smiles coyly as Gai kisses her hand, feeling a little light-headed and giddy from the gesture. It's so romantic, and yet Elizabeth can almost feel her body temperature rising as she keeps her eyes locked with Gai's. There's definitely a heat there, which Elizabeth instantly attributes to Gai being ridiculously attractive. And probably the occasion, too.]
[The flower is a surprise, but Elizabeth looks thrilled by it and turns her head so Gai can position it how he likes. This was exactly the sort of thing she did in Columbia in her conservatory. A flower was perfect right now.]
[Two simple gestures, and Elizabeth is falling faster than a clumsy man off the side of Columbia. This evening is already everything out of her fantasies, and maybe more.]
Thank you, Gai. [She smiles, fingers brushing lightly over the carnation.] I'm sorry, I should have said something when I came in. But I suppose I felt too plain to speak to such a handsome man. [She grins up at him and squeezes his hand lightly.]
