Grayson wasn't entirely sure that her observation was a compliment, so he did not respond to it. He only stood and waited for the proper time to direct her towards his door. There was a tightness in his shoulders that he couldn't explain, and pushing at the sleeves of his over-sized sweater was now more a habit of his discomfort.
"That's the theory," he admitted, scratching the back of his neck. "It's...magic. It's not perfect, and it's not infallible." He tried to look at things that were not Dinah. Things that were not green eyes and a mouth that looked like it wanted to eat him. A wind chime, a dream catcher, a potted succulent. Not too thin wrists that would benefit from a grilled cheese or wild curls that he could see himself burying his hands in.
That thought was not his own.
Well, it was of course, but it was something more than that. An empathetic thought. Grey eyes darted back to her only to narrow behind thick lenses. Her mind was in the gutter already and she was dragging him in their with her.
"It works better if you actually believe in it."
His voice didn't sound like his own. It sounded far away. He absolutely needed this woman out of his house.
"It's thirty dollars, by the way. For the bracelet."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
