John thought for a moment then returned to her gaze. He smiled "im not intending to change my mind pippa" he truelly wasn't. This woman was incredible and he was happy she wanted to be part of his life. He wondered if this would lead to more. He leaned in again and kissed her lips before smiling and saying "I could get used to that"

He stood up and straightened himself upright. He offered pippa his hand and gestured "why don't we go find someplace warmer and get you away from the Dock smells, might make you less nauseous"
