"Well, you might get the opportunity to. You're a beautiful woman. Can't say I wouldn't be jealous if you did, but one night doesn't give anybody a right to that kinda possession. Hell, several nights don't either, but some people get pretty...well, you know."
It brought to mind the question of how he felt about her long term. That was an interesting question for one so mired in the present. His smile is genuine as she traces patterns on his chest, and he kisses her forehead several times, but it is also thoughtful. She's still finding herself, and he might not be in the future she finds. And he is not one to settle down in one place, and that might be problematic. At that moment, his thoughts mostly echo her own - one night at a time, and happy in that night.
"Hey, you never asked my real name, even though you know I have one. Not that I don't appreciate it, but gotta ask...why not? Most people would think they had a right to know, now. Like it would make them special."
