She learned when she was fifteen that there is a certain amount of deliberate action to deciding you were going to be romantic with someone. It sounds really good in the books and movies where you just sort of spontaneously fall into it but that almost never happens. And when it does it doesn't go well.
She planned once to tell someone he could sleep with her, turns out a demon had asked him to kill her. Last Gemma had heard he was several surgeries in to seeing if he would walk normally again.
This was different. There was a certain amount of upfront planning and a lot of spontanaiety. First of all there was the fact the tower was sentient...that was a little wierd but it wasn't like having a person around. And Hector had to be out. That was a must.
Other than picking an open window of opportunity for alone time she was leaving it up to whatever happened.
Sitting in the windowseat of her room she smiles at Zauriel holding the differing futures she's seen in her mind. What will come is not set in stone, there is hope for them to come out of this on the other side in one piece.
"And we're alone. I thought Hector would never leave."
