Usually, when given an invitation to come to Ten Forward, Reg found a way to politely turn it down. It was too crowded, he always felt as if people were staring at him, he couldn’t properly unwind... but with Jamie, it was different. He often found himself relaxing in her presence, a feeling he wasn’t entirely used to, but was fairly certain he liked it.

But after an hour or two, it was about time for him to leave. He stood with a smile, bending down to give her a quick peck on the cheek -- she’d done it to him before, so he could do it to her, right? But evidently, he had the worst timing in the universe. As he neared, she turned her head, and instead of landing on her cheek, his lips landed directly on top of hers.

Reg froze, unsure what to do. Should he panic? He should definitely panic! And should definitely stop, no matter how much he might not particularly... want to stop...

After a few long moments of indecision, Reg suddenly scrambled backwards, already sputtering with embarrassment. “I -- I didn’t mean to -- I mean -- I w-would never have -- you just t-turned your -- I was trying for your ch-cheek, I -- I didn’t want to -- I mean I did want to, a bit, a lot, b-b-but I would n-never have done that without your -- without your, uh -- your -- your -- your -- ahhhhhhhhhhhh...”
