I imagine some people around these parts have doomed their worlds with their antics. I hardly consider there much risk meeting and befriending people. [He smirked at being called a safe risk. That was a compliment if he heard one.] I'm not in a position of burning bridges just yet, and we're having a good time. I can't see that changing.

[So maybe normal booths and chairs were not always generous when it came to men who were as tall and wide as he was.

He drew his knees together a bit so they brushed her own knees under the table, noting where her legs were so he didn't accidentally step on her feet.]

Ah yes well, they sometimes grow us big where I'm from. [His eyes were roaming over her face and shoulders, focusing a bit on her hands.] So many compliments. You're sweetening the deal here, Maria. I thought confession time was over. If you want a kiss at the end of this, you don't have to butter me up this much.
