Jane wondered what was on his mind.

Almost as if he heard her, Thor spoke up.

"Jane I've been meaning to tell you something."

"Okay....what is it?"

"I-"

He was cut off by the sound of her phone ringing.

"Sorry, let me get that", said Jane as she rushed away from the door.

A minute later, she was back at the door, phone in hand.

"I missed the call", she started, "anyway do you want to come in?"

"No, that's alright. I fear I might have overstepped by coming here.", Thor said.

"Wait, what were you going to say?"

She could sense his hesitation and worried if he was about to break her heart in a different way.

"Theo", Jane called out to him.

In that second, it was as if time stood still.

'Not this! Anything but this OH MY GOODNESS', Jane thought, 'Why did I call him that?'. 

"Theo" was a nickname from their past together and had no place in the present. Calling him that had been a reflex reaction, an involuntary slip of the tongue, formed by habit in the past. She wondered if the name still made his heart race as it did hers.

She thought to herself, 'We're not together and I just called him that name and he's going to hate me for bringing it up and I'm going to die and Darcy will hate me for making her grieve and I'll be forgotten and- Die. I die. I die. I die. Die. Die. Di-'

Thor spoke up, "Well, I was going to ask if maybe.....Do you want to get some ice-cream later? I know this great ice-cream place two blocks away and they have the best toppings. Unless maybe you want to go somewhere else which is fine with me. It's okay if you don't-"

Reaching out to take his hand in hers, Jane said, "Thor, it's okay. I want to."

"Splendid", he replied with a smile tugging on his lips.

She wasn't sure if exes were supposed to ask each other out or hold hands but she didn't want to overthink things. Right now with his hand in hers, she felt like things were going to be okay. And that's really all that mattered.
