<p>Clara thanked him for turning the heat up, enjoying the warmth coming out of the vents. "A dalmatian<i><span> </span></i>is a very common firehouse dog, but if you want something different you can, though as long as you don't call him Sparky It'll be okay, not that it's a bad name, just overly used one," she responded.

<p>The car ride seemed to pass too quickly before long the buildings became tress and she knew they were approaching near the base of the mountains, "You're right, and who doesn't babble," she muttered the rain beginning to fall. "How sweet of you, I'm glad I'll know who to call, and don't apologize, it's a car they all make sounds," as long as they weren't really loud she usually assumed everything was alright. </p>
<p>Somehow before she wanted to, she was standing in front of her door after coming out of the car in the pouring rain after one of the best dates of her life, a date she was sad had to end but hopeful that they would have many more dates to come. "I'm thinking of reading before I go to bed, then closing my eyes and falling into a wonderful sleep," she answered. She smiled at him and they kissed once more, and when they parted he walked down the steps and she walked to the door watching him go. Clara could see it now, more lovely dates in the future, filled with romance and fine conversation, she had always gotten along with Ray and now she looked forward to getting to know him even more. </p> Ray smiled as he turned a swi…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-11-04:6610746:Comment:4201662020-11-04T17:11:47.922Z✓ Ray Heraldhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/JoeDiamond676

<p><br/><br/></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ray smiled as she mentioned about her blabbing before gently squeezing her hand “ it's good to blab and put the world to rights if you don’t you will erupt “ he smiled as he turned his head to Clara “I am glad I can be your Extinguisher to your fire “ he smiled happily as he took the woodland scenery as the clouds opened he listened to the rain hit the windscreen like a tune to a song as the window wipers screeched to life as he cringed a little “ sorry about that “ </span></i></p>

"I mean it's only fair you put up with my babbling," and she was sure she did enough of that for the both of them. Her eyes traced the lighter in the near darkness where the street lights hit in some areas, " I get it, I used to have to carry a bottle of water with me, it helped me stay calm, something to ground me I think," she replied. "Only if you want to share, I wouldn't force you,"<a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/ca1c80b03f6fec498d66a8deb14bc2c6/tumblr_inline_phys4iVbDn1rvmmrv_540.gif" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/ca1c80b03f6fec498d66a8deb14bc2c6/tumblr_inline_phys4iVbDn1rvmmrv_540.gif?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left"/></a></p>
<p>The walk around the lake kept her breathless at the beauty of it, walking along with hand in hand with Ray made her extremely happy,. When they got back to the car, she was slightly sad it was over but she could feel the tiredness in her eyes, "No, I don't think I need anything, thank you though," she was impressed with how thoughtful he was. She smiled at him, Clara forgot her keys more times then she would like to admit, she stepped in once he opened the door for her "Thank you," she offered and buckled her seatbelt.</p>

<p>They walked hand in hand towards the lake and her heart warmed, every little thing Ray seemed to do, he did it to help people, his answer in response to his favourite Harry Potter character told her that, she was impressed with the level of selflessness, he was a hero if she ever saw one.

"I remember watching the scene where he died, I cried profusely, it showed that even innocents die," she had been younger then but Dobby dying had been a hard thing to swallow, she always seemed to be getting attached to fictional characters. </p>
<p>On the way, he stopped to look at her and was surprised to hear him speaking so vulnerable, but was glad he did. "Thank you for <a href="https://64.media.tumblr.com/1cecb1804c96d07f38c6b7ae7d5ab34a/tumblr_mh8qbqfYDY1raejtro1_250.gifv" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img src="https://64.media.tumblr.com/1cecb1804c96d07f38c6b7ae7d5ab34a/tumblr_mh8qbqfYDY1raejtro1_250.gifv?profile=RESIZE_710x" class="align-left"/></a>sharing it with me, I love nature but even I didn't I would love it there because it holds such a close place to your heart," They counted talking, and she loved learning all the answers to basic questions. "I'll have to make you some of my homemade soup once, I think you like it; it's an old recipe. And I love when the leaves change colour too," she replied.</p>
<p>She nodded, it felt nice to have someone she could relate to, the draw to the water seemed to always be there but when she did get overly emotional the water seemed to call louder than before. "I promise," she replied, happy to have his company, "Promise me the same?" she smiled softly and closed her eyes momentarily enjoying the warmth of his hand. She opened them and answered his question. "Warm apple cider, or hot chocolate with marshmallows," thinking about it brought memories from her childhood to the front of her mind but before she could think much on it, his lips leaned into hers and he kissed her. She had to stand on her tippy toes to reach him and even then he had to lean down, she wrapped her arms around his neck, enjoying the warmth of him standing so close. </p> Well, I would sneak to the n…tag:eternalcityrp.com,2020-10-27:6610746:Comment:4193842020-10-27T20:36:04.219Z✓ Ray Heraldhttps://eternalcityrp.com/profile/JoeDiamond676

<p>"It was my pleasure, you make quite fine company Mr. Herald," she responded listening to his words, she couldn't remember a time where a man had actually thanked her for a date. "I think a walk around the lake would be lovely," Though there would be a chill in the air, she thought it would be so nice to escape the confines of a building. "I would love that, it sounds very romantic," That's what she admired about Ray with everything he did, he put his utmost into it. "I'm touched you want to show me, but are you sure, it's your magical place," </p>
<p>Clara let Ray lead her out of the restaurant, bracing herself for the sudden temperature change, and answered his question.

She hadn't really thought about it much but what she already knew was that he was most certainly a good kisser.

<p>She blushed at his compliment, momentarily looking away, only to be brought back as he spoke on, she shouldn't be surprised at all the wonderful things he thought about her, but in truth she was, Clara always wondered if she was enough, smart enough, helpful enough, kind enough, it didn't seem to matter what anyone said, it had always been a worry for her but listening as he spoke, she was moved by his words. "Thank you," she responded. <br/>He knew her very well she realized, as he switched the topic, yes she worried about him, she knew she always would but he wanted to change her thoughts from falling down a worrying hole so she played along.
