( Red pulls back, meets her gaze, and then smiles at what she says, lifting an eyebrow, seeming very pleased by this revelation. She brushes some of the hair from Clara's face, fingertips linger against her cheekbone. )
Since the boat, huh?
It's still probably gonna be scary as shit, y'know? ( Nothing is guaranteed but that's true everywhere. ) But you don't have to let that keep you from what you want, no. Shouldn't hide that heart of yours.
[ Clara's quiet, letting Red's words linger while pressing her cheek just a little into the soft touch. ]
I know what could happen, but I wanna be happy. And you make me happy, Red. Just seeing your face tonight made me happy in a way I haven't felt in a really long time.
[ Maybe one day Red will leave again, but then, maybe Clara will. But maybe for now, they can be brave together. ]
( That makes Red's smile warm due to the wonderful simplicity of it. She's not used to being that kind of person for someone else. She'd isolated for awhile, always on the run. )
Happiness it is then. ( They can both choose that. Hell knows Clara derves that - to be happy. ) Cupcakes and kisses then.
( Seems like a beautiful way to spend the evening along with making sure neither of them get so drunk they wind up with any type of hangover. )
