'Oh'? Is that it?

Should she be glad that's all it is?

Were she less nervous, or wearing something more traditionally feminine, there'd be no misinterpreting the slightly dazed look on his face as he gawks at her. But she'd already half-convinced herself he wouldn't like it before she'd stepped out of the bathroom, and a syllable and a stare aren't enough to dispel that horrible uncertainty. Instead, it coalesces into a horrible certainty that all but chokes her, and she takes a step back, half-turning toward the door, one hand raised in what's meant to be a dismissive wave. "It's--never mind, I'll just--"

She'll just go back into the bathroom and shut the door again and curl up in the tub until someone invents time travel, it's fine. Maybe if she leaves Sweeney an entire pie, she'll be lucky enough that they can both laugh about this later (much later). God, what was she thinking?
