Laurel watched Nic for a long moment before she turned to leave him with his computer. But then she turned back, "I know I seem silly to you." she finally said quietly, "But I've really never been with someone like this before. Everything you do is... is a first for me. So when you do so many at once it's too much." she tried to explain. "I love you but I can only go so fast. I know you're more experienced than me. You've been with other girls I'm sure." Surprisingly that didn't seem to upset her. "So maybe... these types of things are normal and not as special to you anymore. But please bear with me, one step at a time, and I promise you it won't be too long before you can stop doing pushups." she vowed quietly with an amused smile. Laurel probably didn't understand to what extent she had just vowed, but the depth of her love was clear.
