Rey's prayers were answered. Buck was indeed home and--he was not wearing a shirt. That left very little to the imagination, and for a split second she regretted her choice of coming over. Look at him you goofball! She blinked a few times, coming out of her stupor and offered a sheepish smile. He was a guy, a fully grown man and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
He was relaxing and she looked like she had gotten home from work--a sweater and blouse coupled with dark pants and her hair tied back in a messy bun.
"H-hey," Rey began, thumb moving over the envelope that had Buck's name on it.
"I um, got your mail by mistake and wanted to return it. And well.." She took in a deep breath, once again trying her best to be brave and not chicken out like she did at the cafe.
"I'm sorry for running out the way I did. That was cowardly of me, and you deserved better than that. I, um, was giving it more thought and while I don't know if I want something serious—if this became serious...it wouldn't be a deal breaker." Fuck, was she making any sense right now? If she told him that he would be the exception to her uncertainty would that freak him out?
Maybe it was best if she started to retreat? No, she had to keep going.
"If you want to go out again, it would be my treat. You don't have to answer right now, but the offer stands." She concluded her little speech by handing out the envelope to him, the whole reason why she was out there in the first place.
