She knocks, shifting anxiously on her feet as she waits for him to open the door. It's ridiculous that she's nervous. She's not a teenage girl asking her crush out for a date. It's not even a date. Well... it could be a date. If he wants it to be. If she wants it to be. She's pretty sure he'll be up to anything she asks of him. (Set mid-Season 4)
