Theodosia nearly swooned openly at Christine's coy smile. She was, at the very least, flustered by the other woman's words, but more attracted to her than anything else. Their eyes net and Theodosia held back the urge to up and kiss Christine right there- patience must be practiced, she reminded herself. "Thank you," she murmured considering her gift of the book. The silence between them grew hard to bear with Christine standing so close to Theodosia, so when the question as to what time to meet was asked, she had to hold back a sigh of relief. A few moments longer, and she would have reached to hold Christine's hand, maybe more, if she was truly bold. "Say... four pm?" Afternoon, not yet evening, the time could be considered an offer almost suggestive but not quite until the time of their meeting was met.
