So I had this idea...
He was going to do it today.

He walked toward Rose's room, hoping she wasn't somewhere else on the grounds today, because he was going to do it. He was going to ask her on a...well, not so much a date as an outing for two people. Nevermind that it could be construed as a date, but he didn't want that kind of pressure attached to it. He straightened the collar of his jacket and took a deep breath, knocking on the door.

He tried to think of it as if he were selling insurance, but the thought only made him laugh, so he waited for Rose to answer the door and hoped she was in a talking mood.
