"Is both an option?" Molly asks, half-teasing, in part to mask the fact that she doesn't really know how to do this, either. Given the common ground they've already found, she should have no trouble saying so, but she used to know how to do this. The scars Bateman left her with are more than just physical, though. Everything changed after that; her relationship with her body and with sex is a far cry from what it was when she was a twenty-year-old who willingly and without shame described herself as kind of slutty. A lot of that confidence is gone now. All the time she spent in a monogamous relationship doesn't make the whole rebounding thing come easier, either, though that's also a big part of why she wants to. "I could go for a beer while you show me the stars."

She wouldn't have minded jumping right into things, either, but she thinks they'll both be more comfortable like this. There's no real need to rush, anyway, when they've got all night ahead of them.
