Canon is Need For Speed. Shelby tried to make the first move.

Oh god I ran Mike off didn't I.

[Shelby, shut up.]

I know women don't normally send guys flowers but I thought it would be sweet. I mean, I had to do something to show him I want to go out with him. Women shouldn't expect guys to do all the work, right?

But what if he thought they were weird?

[Shelby.]

Or I'm sure having him go to a funeral with me didn't help. That's not romantic. He never should have been there.

I don't know what I'm doing. Actually now that I think about it, I've never known what I'm doing. Ask Red. So why do we keep trying?

...oh yeah. Hopeless romantic. Right.

Well, I for one have not run off anywhere. Mun just had some tech issues like internet was out due to chewed wires.

[shelbycobra]

Wait, like a cat?

[lawandbaseball]

Squirrels or rodents of some type I believe. The outside wires, not inside the house. Thankfully or mun may have killed it with fire.

[shelbycobra]

I'm glad things are okay now. I missed you and I feel like I've been pretty bad with showing you that I'm interested in you.

[lawandbaseball]

You are? [Yes that surprises him, mostly because he has to be old compared to her.]

[shelbycobra]

Mike. [Shelby chuckles, shoving her hands in the pockets of her jeans.] We did kind of make out. That wasn't a clue for you?

[lawandbaseball]

A little clue, but guess I'm just amazed by it. I mean I am, assuming, a bit older than you. You are a beautiful woman who could easily find some young handsome guy. [Yes, that was a compliment.]

[shelbycobra]

I'm 30, so probably like 10, 15 years. But that doesn't bother me, unless it bothers you. [Shakes her head. She's really not sure how he feels about her.] I don't want someone else, Mike. I want you and I don't know how else to tell you.

[lawandbaseball]

[Well to be fair to Shelby, Mike is a hard man for anyone to get a read on.] Doesn't bother me in the slightest. I think we should do something together so you can have your chance to tell me.


I'll even let you in on a little secret. I really like you too.

[shelbycobra]

I was thinking you should show me your place. You've already seen mine and then I can finally be with you like I've wanted to.

[Yes Mike, she's fantasized about you.]

[lawandbaseball]

Come on over.
