Jane felt slightly awkward not eating while he did, so she held onto her coffee cup and talked about the pictures she had hanging up. Without getting overly technical, she described what each one was, the names of the stars or cluster or phenomenon featured, and where and when it was taken. She could feel his eyes on her when she pointed out each piece. Initially she was uncomfortable but grew to like the feeling. Again it left her not having to guess if he was interested in her for more than her taste in dessert.

"Now you've really figured me out. I don't have to use magic or trickery or my vampire powers. I lure men into my den with dessert." She laughed, picturing herself as a spider at the center of an enormous web like in Lord of the Rings. In her case the web was very, very empty aside from him.

Wash room? Oh, he meant bathroom. That was adorable, the little difference in terminology. "Down the hall before you get to the bedroom." She stood when he did, picking up the plates to take them to the kitchen. "Do you want a refill while you get those crumbs?" She used a free hand to pretend to brush some off the front of his shirt.
