"I'm more of a... stay at home person," he answered after a couple moments. "Not that I'm boring or anything, of course not! But I enjoy simply staying in. Y'know, whether it's by myself or with a couple of people that I invited over. Depends on my mood." He paused, grinning at her. "Then again, tonight seems pretty ideal right now."
Ryan couldn't help but admit that he couldn't imagine staying in tonight. After being in the clinic all day, he needed to do something.

Lillian nodded... waited... then squeezed his arm.
"You didn't ask me a question!" She whispered.

"Oh! That's right! Um, same question!" said Ryan, chuckling softly. "I'm horrible at this already."

"I'll let it slide, just this once." She squeezed his arm again, though more affectionately this time.
"Actually, quite the same answer. I love to just stay in and read. Especially if it's raining outside. Do you like to read?" Lillian looked up and spotted the club, only a few buildings away from them now.

"Yes, actually," answered Ryan. "If I'm not having people over, that's what I'm usually doing. What's your favorite book?"

"The Great Gatsby. I am absolutely in love with American literature." She answered, glad to see there wasn't a long line to get into the club.
"And yours?"

"Well, aren't you a girl after my own heart? Mine's Huckleberry Finn," he answered proudly, glad to see that they both had some common ground. Most girls didn't read and he was glad that Lillian did.
"So, what else do you like to do on your spare time?"
((Sorry for the late responses!! Multi-tasking!))

"Well, uhm, I love to...sing. Not in public or anything, just when I'm alone. Mostly Frank or any of those sister bands." They had now approached the open door of the club, and Lillian looked over at Ryan.
"Are you ready?" She asked, a small smiled on her lips.

"Always," smiled Ryan, gently taking her hand and leading on the dance floor. They had just come in time. The band was lively and the crowd was energetic, the perfect night to go dancing. He put his arm around her waist while he held her hand, eyes completely focused on her.

Lillian gazed back at him, almost forgetting what she had been meaning to say since he picked her up. She shook her head a bit to get out of her small trance.
"You need to watch it during the faster songs." She said seriously. "Dancing too much might bother your arm."

"That's why I've got you here with me, right?" said Ryan, winking at her. He didn't care if they were dancing or sitting, he just wanted to be with her and spend time with her. Thankfully, a slower song picked up and the crowd somewhat dissipated, leaving only the couples on the floor. Ryan smiled at her and pulled her closer.

Lillian couldn't help but sigh softly as she heard the opening piano and trumpet of "La Vie En Rose" by Louis Armstrong. Her hand was fit snugly into Ryan's, her other hand resting ever so lightly on his shoulder (not wanting to hurt him, of course).
Hold me close and hold me fast, the magic spell you cast, this is La Vie En Rose...
She leaned her cheek again the edge of his jaw, biting back a smile. This... Dancing with Ryan like this felt so... Natural. Right. If she never moved from this spot, she felt she would be happy for the rest of her life. She barely knew the guy, but she felt like she'd been dancing with him for forever.
When you kiss me, Heaven sighs, and though I close my eyes, this is La Vie En Rose...

Once he felt her cheek rest slightly against his shoulder, Ryan couldn't help but smile. He held her hand gently, hoping that his hands weren't too sweaty or anything. He had heard this song every now and then, causing him to softly hum a few notes. Well, the ones he knew, at least.
Despite his hurt arm, Ryan felt incredibly comfortable and content. It was amazing how she made him feel that way without even doing anything.

Lillian slowly and smoothly moved her hand from his shoulder to the nape of his neck, combing the ends of his hair with the coral painted tips of her fingers.
She would pay the band leader any amount of money for him to play this song at least five more times after it ended.

Keep your cool, thought Ryan when he felt her touch his neck. He continued to softly hum, gently leading her across the floor. He closed his eyes, savoring the moment (and trying to avoid looking at the other soldiers he knew that were already teasing him) as he listened to the last few notes of the song. Once the song ended, Ryan kissed her softly on the forehead and grinned. "Did I tell you I was a good dancer or what?"
