"Big towns are...so big. I think I could handle an university town, but not really anything huge. Even though it would probably cut down on gas prices given the whole public transit thing."
It was something she thought and thought over. She knew she wanted to be more than what her mom wound up doing, bookkeeper to a small law office. And she really wanted to be different from how her dad ended up. As a result, she felt like making a plan seemed to be something which would provide a little bit of safety and sanity when everything seemed to be going insane around her.
"Nothing wrong with that. I tend to be kind of reserved with people I don't know well. It's normal. It's human. At least that's what I tell myself. And...really?"
She's never figured she'd find a steady partner, much less one who'd fallen for her so quickly. But she had to admit to herself that she'd fallen for Luz almost as fast, utterly charmed almost from the first. And it didn't sound creepy, it sounded wonderful. Like something out of a book or a movie and completely romantic. She can hardly believe that she inspired such romantic reveries.
And Lexi laughs, giving Orville a fond but exasperated look. "Sure seems that way. My favorites are the ones from teen dramas, they have so many tropes. Which ones do you like the best?"
If anyone got it into their heads that they could mock Luz for any reason, well...they could think again. Such a thing was no longer allowed.
She wished Luz felt...she wasn't sure what the proper word was. More sure of herself, maybe? Because she was amazing on every level and she wanted people to know that. And properly appreciate her.
And Luz make her feel all warm and fuzzy when she smiled at her. Like everything, no matter what it was, would be okay in the end. Like she'd found relief from all of her worries.
Lexi grinned at that. "I don't know, I feel like I should be in a fancier dress for this. But, wait a minute, I can give you something." She untied the blue ribbon from her ponytail and tied it around Luz's bicep. "There. A lady's favor to wear."
And her eyes widened and she smiled. "...really? Good thing I hate anchovies." And she steps just a little closer.
