[ Sometimes, Faraday gets a kick out of the way he can talk and talk and talk, while Emma can't get a word in edgewise. Entertaining to see her struggle with the compulsion to argue or smack him. He's learned she's got one hell of a poker face, even as he trots out some of his best stories or jokes as he wanders Rose Creek with her.
He's gratified to see some of her anxiety ebb, though, and some of that pain, as she levels one of her glares at him. He'll take as much scorn in the world, so long as he doesn't have to see that look on her face again any time soon. Even worse, knowing he was the direct cause of it.
They finish up at last, and as he predicts, she turns on him only seconds after the door shuts behind them. Faraday just grins, casting her a dubious look. ]
Says you, Cullen.
Give it a month, and I bet I could get you smokin' like a chimney.
