[Sitting off alone, teary-eyed and quiet.]

Hey, what's wrong?

[Caitlin gives him the best smile she can muster at the moment.]

Hey, Jason.

I just totally screwed up my romantic life and I don't think I'm going to get a chance to fix it.

I doubt you screwed anything up.

And if you did? We've all been there.

I think I did. I really think I did.

[She wipes at her eyes.]

I totally got ahead of myself and now I'm sure he thinks I'm an idiot.

Look, we all get ahead of ourselves sometimes. The bane of being human. Nothing that can't be fixed, and it won't end the world.

[She's not sure she believes that, but she appreciates that he's trying.] I don't know, did you ever ruin your chances with the one person you've ever wanted to date?

I've fucked up a lot. I mean, worse than just that.

Really? You seem like a guy who has yourself together.

Like I said, we all make mistakes. Some are just worse than others.

I'm scared, Jason. I mean...I already had my heart broken once. And then just when I thought I was happy again I go and shoot myself in the foot by opening my big mouth.

Well, what did the guy say?

That's the thing. I don't know. I asked him out and he hasn't said anything yet.

So see. You might be getting worked up over nothing.

You think? I mean, I always thought when a guy didn't say something right away it was a bad sign.

Us men? We can be rendered speechless too. It's that pesky human thing.

[She chuckles, finally able to smile.] I'd kiss you right now if I wasn't hoping he's going to say yes.

I just can't fuck up, you know? There's not much left for me if I do.

You'll be just fine.

How are you so confident in me when we haven't known each other that long?

I'm a trained detective. I know things.

[Caitlin leans up and kisses him lightly on the cheek.] You're a great guy, Jason. Can I trouble you to stay awhile? I don't really feel like being alone.

Sure, I'm off right now.

You see the scores tonight? I'm all verklempt.
