[It's not every day that Nat gets the opportunity to go out on something that's akin to a real date, that's with a real person and not for the job. She felt like dressing it up. Plus, after the laugh she'd had about the name of the place, she'd been in a good mood and a trip shopping only kept the mood going.]
You know I always dress to impress.
[then she downgrades and smiles softly behind his back, enjoying the beginnings of the wind as they move down the street, slow at first through the neighborhood.]
I know Steve. It's been crazy, and I wanted to feel nice for tonight, for you, for me. Sometimes a woman needs to dress up for herself to feel good inside. It's a girl thing. I promise.
[maybe they've had very different life experiences, but she's got an affection for Steve that's very genuine. He's honest and forthcoming, not a lot of people are. That means a lot in Nat's book. Not to mention, he's always accepted her, even with her past, even when they're angry at one another they don't fight dirty. They get through it, and make up on the other side.
When the bike speeds up, it makes it harder to talk and so Nat goes back to resting her head against Steve's back until they get there. Maybe it's giving into that girly side again, but she'll let herself if only for tonight.]
