At the time of the asking, going out with Grigg had seemed like a really good idea - fantastic, even, wonderful, something Eden had, despite herself, been hoping for a lot longer than she cared to admit.
Now, here, alone in her hut but for her pets, she was less certain. It was going to be something simple, casual, she reminded herself. There was no reason to worry. "I can do this," she murmured, tugging at the fabric of her skirt. God, this was stupid. Grigg was a friend, not a threat. Spending time with him shouldn't have been cause to fret.
Except that she remembered all too clearly what had happened the last time she'd tried dating a friend, how long it had gone on, how poorly it had ended. All she'd gotten from it was experience and one less friend. Losing Grigg wasn't something she wanted to consider. Rolling her eyes at herself, she shook her head. "I'm getting ahead of myself here. Calm. Be calm." She was reaching up to adjust her hair - nothing to be done with it, really - when the knock came, her stomach turning with nerves. "Oh, for fuck's sake." Mr Muggles took up the alert, yapping furiously as he rushed for the door, but Eden walked slowly. Pulling the door open, she smiled. It would be fine. "Hey."
