Comment: You guys. Thanks so much for your reviews on the last one! :) You're awesome. Here's a bit of infatuated Barney for you :)

Barney's looking at her differently nowadays.

It's not the way his eyes always gleam playfully, or the cheeky wink he throws her occasionally. He does that all the time. (That comes with being Joe One Night Stand.) He's also still making inappropriate comments whenever the conversation shifts into sexual territory, and he cannot help himself mocking Canada at every given opportunity.

However, he does all of that with an accompanied look in her direction, a deep, loaded look, as if checking whether she got mad or uninterested in his jokes.

And honestly, it scares the freakin' daylights out of her.
