His reaction to her teasing played into her anxiety that she was not good enough to be a part of his world. This was one of those moments she wanted to hide from. He had never had a better time. Someone forgot to tell his face. "What is it, Mason? Please tell me. I mean...you don't have to tell me, but I'd like to understand."

"It's rather foolish." he told her, "And it's my foolishness, truly it wasn't you." he stalled. Finally he answered her, "I've done things well my whole life you see. I've never failed at anything. It sounds like I'm bragging, I'm not. But it's a strange problem to have isn't it? Like complaining about being rich and handsome." he teased in a self depreciating way.

It was rather foolish, and she didn't understand it. But at least he had shared something meaningful with her and that made her happy. She could always learn to understand it later. "I know something you've failed at." Lyra brought herself close to him, standing on her toes in order to wrap her arms around his neck. "You failed to look like you were having the best time. So, now that you're a failure, you have to be happy again," she said in a teasing manner.

"Actually, I really am having the best time." he said with a cheating smile, "So my record is clean." he put the moment in the past, though he felt relieved that he had been able to share something with her without feeling foolish.

She could sense how difficult it was to open up to her, she assumed he found it difficult to open up to most people. He had made a remark on one of their earlier dates about even Samantha not knowing the "good information" on him, and if Sam didn't know something then it was a pretty good guess that not many people knew at all. And as she was proud that he had shared a piece of himself, she thought he had earned a reward. Lyra rose onto her tiptoes and brushed her lips lightly against his.

He placed his hands around her waist when she kissed him and was reluctant to let her go. As she thought it was rather difficult for Mason to open up about his problems and take himself seriously when he talked about them. He was realizing the depth of feeling and trust he was beginning to have for this woman.

Lyra melted into him, warming in his strong embrace. She could kiss this man forever. Even considering the mini emotional ride they had taken only moments ago, this had been a very good date. They had both opened up to each other and Lyra felt closer to Mason than she thought she would so early into their relationship. Their relationship. She liked the sound of that.
