As promised, Rory's there at three, anticipation and anxiety making an unsettling blend deep in his gut. So much they need to talk about, so many things she doesn't know, and he has no guarantee she'll still feel the same way about him once they have spoken. But not telling her ... would be worse. So much worse.
When the time comes to jump, you jump, and whether you go quietly or scream all the way down makes no practical difference. The quote may have originally been about sky diving, but it applies equally well to many other areas of life, including romance. Time to speak truth and let what happens happen.
And the truth is, he feels something drawing him to Pippa Kerr, something well beyond her pretty face, soft voice and sweet ways. He may not be ready to put a name to it quite yet, but he knows he'll regret it if he doesn't at least try with her.
Shifting his grip on his guitar case, Rory raises one hand and knocks.
