Continuing with Courage of the Heart: Davie has been rejected and feels humiliated, she's mad as hell. Adam finds he can't walk away and he is not giving up. In this scene he's shown up (unexpectedly) at her door to invite her to dinner. She softens and instead invites him in to share some of the Thanksgiving leftovers that she brought home with her from her family get-together.
"We
really seemed to have a good time together until I acted like such an ass, I'd
like to try again."
"What
do you mean?"
"You
told me you couldn't be the first, why not?" She was puzzled, "I
thought most guys loved to be the first. I don't know, I always thought guys
wanted to take a girl's virginity because it was like some special prize or
something."
"I,
uh…" He turned away from her, "It’s a big responsibility, besides I
don’t want to hurt you, physically I mean."
She
looked at him incredulously, “That’s really lame.”

Lame but also intriguing but you're hinting there's more going on here! Definitely makes me want to keep reading, great snippet!
Wow, vivid eight. Great job at getting your heroine to try and understand the male psyche -- can't wait to see what happens next!

The last line had me giggling a little...but the rest was really great. I love that he's hesitant because he doesn't want to hurt her...and maybe she'll see that it isn't so lame, but one of the nicest things a guy can say.
Her response is very organic. Love the back and forth between the characters. Great snippet.
That is so realistic. There are two camps with guys on being the first. Those who love it and those who are afraid to because it is a big deal. Great 8! and her answer to all of that is spot on. :)

This is cute. He may still end up being the first : )
Flimsy excuse - but I love that he cares about her. I think that mentality has come around more recently for men. It used to be such a prize to be won, but a lot more boys/men are now considering it a massive undertaking. It's really interesting to see how times have changed, and you've illustrated it so well, especially with Davie's reaction!
Great eight!
Yes, Adam does care about Davie, very much - but Veronica, you are very good at picking up on those hints. Thank you all for your comments.
Davie's last line is excellent, Chelle. :D
Methinks overprotective Adam is overthinking this just a bit . . .
You'll get one try at this, because that's all I'll give a captcha. I think he's being a lot more responsible than she is.
She's got a point there, although he's obviously trying to be sensitive to the longer term issues.
