memoryisthekeyI can do this.
I can DO this.
I can TOTALLY do this.
I am going to fuck this up so badly, aren't I?
I'm actually pacing outside of her apartment, trying to psych myself up for this. It's like being in that storage unit all over again. She's right there, I just have to knock on the door and talk to her and hey, bonus, I don't think Helen's as likely to shoot me as Tex would. It's just a date. I just want to ask her on a date.
On Valentine's day. Night. Actually, it's some lantern show thing, but it's on Valentine's day and I'm pretty sure Helen's a Valentine's kind of woman. Unless she isn't. In which case, I really am about to fuck this up.
Shit. Here goes.
I knock on the door.
"Helen, you home? It's me. Um... Church? From the... things?"

He'd have all kinds of advice. I'd ignore it all, but at least it would be a starting point. I mean, seriously, how long has it been since I did the dating thing? If I have to be honest, it's probably all the way back before the Director was the Director and I don't think that counts.
I stand there, pretty stupidly before I realize I should say something else. "I, uh, guess I'll be back then. Have a... great rest of your afternoon?"

She doesn't intend to rush him out the door, but he seems like he wants to leave, and besides, it looks like Saffron's got a need to take special care in getting ready for the festival. "I'm looking forward to tonight."
