"Jethro, I understand your concerns with commitment, but...I mean you never know what will happen if you don't try something right?"
She was hoping that it didn't seem like she was trying to convince him to do anything.
"I also want you to be happy, and if....you think that you could be happy with me then...I would be happy too."
She showed him a smile, she was giddy and almost couldn't contain herself. She almost let her happiness slip, but decided to hold it back until she heard him out.
