"I know there is," she says even as she looks past him at the corner, because she really does want to put in a window, but then she finally looks back. "I mean, I know that I'm pretty much going to be working on getting this place cleaned up and fixed until it opens." He continues, and Raleigh realises that he's actually committing himself to this, to doing the work and showing her how to do it, too.

Her brows furrow together and it's because she's touched, she really is. "It's good news," she says with a nod, but then he says that - he says You love it, though. and he's not wrong, he's so not wrong, and she looks at the front room, scrubbing a hand over her face. "I really do," she says quietly. "I... This is so dumb, because I'm not- because dates... and I don't even get along," She's not mentioned to him how it went with Michael the Boring, or, worse, how things went with Richard, but she continues. "But when I was in the kitchen, like... I can see myself there- I mean, someday, maybe, if I have kids-"

She doesn't even know why her eyes have welled up, but it's a good thing. It's a good thing, that she can see her future here even if she doesn't know if she'll ever get there, and she rolls her eyes at herself. "Yeah. Yeah, I do love it, you're right. You're right, I love it a lot. It's the right place."
