He presses his lips together and says, "Evans, if you don't want to be here, leave. I'm not going to stop you."

"What?" she asks, incredulous. "You've wanted this date for years and now you're quitting halfway through?"

"I don't want to force you to be here. Hell, that's the last thing I want."

"That's really sweet, Potter."

It's quiet for a moment. "You gonna leave?"

She smiles softly. "No, I think I'll stay."
