Due (Matrimonial) Diligence
So... getting married. It was a thing now. A thing that was actually going to happen, not at some nebulous far off point in the future, but within the year. Riley and Dinah didn't want some big drawn out engagement. There'd been vague discussions of dresses and guests lists and venues, but Riley was really on the fringe of all that. Oddly enough, Uncle Ted and Dad had taken over most of the planning, with various interventions by Aunt Sue.

Riley and Dinah, for their part, knew that pre-marital counseling was a sound idea, so they'd checked with Ruth about the idea and set up a schedule. Riley was meeting with her first, before Dinah's session, and then both of them.

So he's waiting in his usual room at the Tower, a few healthy snacks and drinks on hand out of gratitude to Ruth, along with a small gift-wrapped box as a thank-you present.

"Riley, considering the day you and I had a while back, I think I'm extremely qualified to say that vastly embarrassing awkwardness doesn't have to be an obstacle in relationship stuff. The important thing is that you were willing to talk to Dinah about it anyway, despite the discomfort.

"Well with you it didn't bother me because I've always just thought you were pretty in a sexless kind of way." Riley pauses, then tries to pull out of the nosedive. "By that I mean that I've always found your grace and composure to override any way I could be attracted to you, as opposed to just finding you attractive in general.

And I was already reeling from the dream that time, so you were just a minor detail at that point in the day's confusion."

"Okay. Not offended. Did you have any other questions? If not, we can do Dinah's preliminaries, and then we can all talk together."

"I think we're good. Let's sit Dinah down with you." He smiles.

"Thanks at lot, Ruth." Hugs?
