Caleb wrinkles his nose. "Sorry, Soph, but, uh, I'm sure you have better options for your Prince Charming than your older brother and his boyfriend," he laughs, pointedly glancing in Ezra's direction.

"Yea... sorry Caleb but you and Carson are the frogs in this fairy tale.... happy ever after frogs... but frogs..."
"Gee thanks, Soph." Carson laughs, "Ribbit Ribbit"

"Aww, Carse, I think you're a very cute frog," Caleb says with a huge grin.
"So... Who would be your Prince Charming then?" Ezra asks.

Carson grins at Caleb and then quickly shifts his eyes to his sister.
Sophie turns red again, "I... umm... well...." She takes a deep breath and looks around, "If we're going based on people in the room.... those two are frogs... so umm..."
Carson looks back at Caleb, his eyebrow raised... waiting to see how this plays out

Caleb waits for her to say it, able to read her as if they hadn't gone so many years without seeing each other. When she still doesn't say anything, Caleb erupts, "Oh my god, Soph, just say it! Anyone wjo has eyes and ears and any human sense at all can see who it is."

Sophie freezes and looks at Caleb. She wants to tell him to shut up but she can't. He's right.
"Give her some help here, Ezra." Carson says smiling.

Off Carson's comment, Ezra cleara his throat to capture Sophie's attention and then gestures to himself. Caleb bursts into applause.

Sophie bites her lips and shyly smiles at Ezra.
Carson grins.

Caleb waits and watches the two awkwardly smile at each other. After a few beats, he groans, "Oh my god, just kiss him already, Soph! He clearly wants it just as much as you."

Sophie takes a deep breath, "D- Do you want me to?" She finally asks... her voice shaking... she is thankful that everyone else has cleared out of the room... at least its just her and Carson and Caleb... but still...

Ezra pauses for a moment, suddenly aware of Caleb and Carson's presence.
Caleb stands, drawing Carson to his feet. "Let's give them some privacy," he says softly.

Carson nods and they leave the room hand in hand.
Sophie watches them leave and then turns back to Ezra, "I'm sorry."

Ezra frowns. "For what?" he asks.

"For my brother... he just kinda…. put you on the spot and...you...you just met me and..." She takes a deep breath, "I don't even know if you like me much less want to kiss me." She looks down noticing the way his body is turned toward hers... their knees almost touching... both their hands on the couch cushion... inches from eachother.

"Were you even listening or did you miss all of what Caleb said?" Ezra laughs. "Carson's meddling looks microscopic next to Caleb's."

"But that's just Caleb..." Sophie says, "He's always been playing matchmaker with people ever since he was a kid and tried to have a wedding with Mr. Whiskers and Princess Pettypaws…" She looks up and smiles shyly, "Yea.. I had weird names for my cats... bur that's just him... Carson's not usually that... forward... about stuff." She bites her lip and looks down again, her cheeks burning

Sheepishly, Ezra inches his hand towards hers. "Maybe... maybe they see... maybe they see something we don't yet."

She looks up at him, her long eyelashes making her blue eyes look darker than they really are, "You think?" She whispers

Ezra nods, moving his hand closer yet again to hers, allowing the silence to hang thick between them.

She gasps as his hand touches hers and looks up at him searching his face for his reaction

A flicker of a grin crosses Ezra's face. "You wanna go out with me sometime?" he asks.

"I'd really like that." Sophie says smiling

Ezra's grin begins to grow. "Really?" he asks, almost giddy.

"Yea... I'd really like to get to know you better." She smiles letting their hands just lay there beside eachother.

"Well, preferably somewhere accessible," he jokes.

"Aww...I was really hoping we could go rock climbing." She grins

"You know..." Sophie says with a growing smile.... we could! There is a ropes course in Neighboring City that is accessible."
