Rosie leans into Neil a bit as he settles his arm around her. "Maybe just at first," she says, and means it. She'd agreed to go out tonight and have a good time with a friend. The last thing she wants is to hold either of them back from having fun.
"Sorry," she says, a quiet, maybe unnecessary apology. "I was told not to overthink it tonight and I'm doing a very poor job of following that advice." She smiles up at him, a wry cant to the corner of her mouth. She has a sense that Jodie's advice had been meant for something only a little different from the dancing she'd seen already, but it still served for the moment. "I'll try to be better about that once we get out there."
