When Chris and Taylor got back to her apartment, she took a seat at her kitchen table. "Wow," Chris said, "It's nice in here." He looked around.

"Thank you." She said, a faint smile on her face. He took a seat next to her, and she moved her hands into her lap. "So... what's Comic Con like?"

"It's... crazy. A lot of people. When I say a lot, I mean a lot." Chris said. Taylor nodded.

"I've never been to one." She shrugged.

"You should come to this one." Chris suggested.

"Yeah I guess I could." She said, grinning.

"What're you grinning about?" He said, and sat closer to her.

"Nothing." She replied, blushing.

He leaned closer to her. "You sure?"

"Maybe." She said, leading him along.

"You know, I have this crush on this girl." Chris said, staring into her eyes.

"Really? Who?" She was interested in what he was saying.

"I don't know. She's blonde, has blue eyes..." Now he was leading her along.

"Caity Lotz?" She asked, laughing.

"No... I think her name is Tammy, Tracey, no, no, it's Tally. Yeah definitely Tally." Chris said, a smile on his face.

"Oh, she sounds nice." Taylor said, smiling. "Is this what friends do?"

"What?" Chris said, chuckling.

"Tell each other their crushes?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Chris said, grinning.

"Well, turns out I like a guy."

"Really? Who?" Chris sounded genuinely disappointed.

"I think his name is Carter." Taylor said, leading Chris along again.

"Whoever this Carter is, if he hurts you, I'm killing him." Chris said, and Taylor was surprised at how defensive he got.

"Noted." She said, winking at him.

"But, will you come to Comic Con with me?"

She thought about his offer. "Of course I will."
