"No, I suppose you can't," he mumbled, hastily putting them away again. I need to burn these things... probably the worst pickup line in history... why am I even using a pickup line... dammit...

Jane peered at the cards in his hand once more, trying to make out what was written on them, giving up when she saw the print scrawled in Riley's nearly undecipherable print. "So, why'd you mention your um...palm cards in the first place when you clearly seem embarrassed by them?"

"I didn't think this through, you know?" He replied sheepishly. "I don't even know why I wrote them." Who even uses dictionaries anymore? Nobody... can I curl up in a ball and die yet?

"Didn't think what through? Riley, were you planning something?" she asked.

"Ugh... maybe... no..." Riley covered his face in his hands.

She raised an eyebrow. Riley was definitely hiding something or other. "Well... Alright then..." she said skeptically. She took his wrist, pulling one of his hands away from his face. Jane studied him for a moment before sighing.

Riley looked at her, biting his lip before mumbling quickly "Thedictionarythinksyou'recute." Wait, oh no, it even came out wrong. AAAAAAAAAHHHHH

"Sorry? The dictionary thinks I'm...what?" Jane's brow furrowed slightly in confusion. She could've sworn he'd said "cute" but... No. That can't be right...

"Cute," he repeated, slightly louder. "Can I go and die now?"

So I heard right... She took a moment to process this before coughing. "The dictionary thinks I'm cute... What in Merlin's name is that supposed to mean, Riley? It doesn't... It doesn't even make sense..."

"I know, I said it wrong," he mumbled, his face burning.

"Then how was it meant to be said?" she questioned. She had a hunch as to where this conversation was leading, but she didn't want to make assumptions just yet.

"I... I can't even remember." Riley looked down. "But it's probably the dumbest thing I've ever said."

"Maybe not the dumbest," Jane told him, shrugging. "But it very...you," she said, offering a small smile.

"Of course it was," he said, looking sulky. "And I didn't want it to be that way, for once."

"But why not? I like it when you're being yourself," Jane murmured.

"Riley... You're not stupid," she said gently. "I know I call you an idiot, but it's only because..." Jane caught herself before she could complete her sentence. "...I'm only joking around when I insult you. It's what friends do sometimes." She put a hand on his shoulder. "But you're not stupid."

"Thanks." He gave her a small smile. "But I am stupid. I don't really care, most of the time, but..."

"Riley, stop it. You shouldn't be putting yourself down like this," she sighed. Hesitating, she continued, "You know, the things you do that you may consider stupid... I think they're cute," she mumbled, feeling her face grow hot.
