He brushed her hand away lightly. "It's OK," he said. "Look, Wanda, you didn't do anything wrong last night. It's fine."

She sighed softly and gently kissed his cheek and stood, walking over to the fridge for a bottle of water. "I wish you'd quit saying that."

"It's true," he said, picking up the dishes from the twins' breakfast and putting them in the dishwasher. "And I won't stop saying it until you admit it."

Wanda sighed slightly. "I may never think it's true. Using somebody is pretty bad, slapping the person you used is even worse." There was a moment when she was silent and then she pulled out a bottle of water. "Do you want someting to drink?" she asked softly.

"No thanks," he said. "I knew you were using me...I was letting you. So it's OK."

Wanda sighed and sunk into one of the kitchen chairs, resting her head on her arm. "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't... we're not going to settle it today."

"It'll never be settled then, will it?" he asked.

Wanda sighed and shook her head. "I don't know. Maybe not. Probably not."
There was another moment when she didn't say anything. "Look, I am never going to think using you was right, whether you say it's okay or not. I made mistakes because of using people. I have two children because I used someone... and I don't feel right about that."

He nodded. "Then...you don't feel anything for me?"

"I think I do." Wanda sighed. "I mean, I've never thought about it... but seeing you today... That was a side of you I've never seen before, and I really kind of like it."
Sighing again, she ran a hand through her hair. "I'm not making any sense, am I?"

He shook his head. "Not really, but it's OK." He patted her shoulder. "I'll always be here for you."

She smiled slightly, looking up at him. "For the record, I come with a lot of bagage. Not just kids and past mistakes."

"So do I," he said. "I told Dom that I'd fix his radio for him. I'll be in the garage. Come get me when the kids wake up. I'll think of another Star Wars story."

Wanda nodded slightly. "Yeah... I will."

He leaned over and kissed her forehead awkwardly. "I'll see you later, OK?" He started to leave.

She stood quickly and walked over to him before he could leave. Gently, she kissed his cheek. "You need to work on your kissing," she teased softly, smiling at him.

"I've never done it before," he said.

Smiling softly, she touched her hand to the back of his neck and kissed him lightly. "We'll work on it later," she replied.

"OK," he said, "I mean, if you want to." And if you don't plan on using me again...

She let her hand fall away. "I'm not using you, if that's what you mean. You're a sweet guy and, to be truthful, most guys would run if they knew I had two two-year-olds. Much less a pyschotic father and a slutty brother."
She hesitated for a moment. "I want to give this a second chance. Just take it slower..."

"Sure," he said. He headed for the garage. "I'll see you later, all right?"

"Okay. I'll see you then." She nodded and headed upstairs.
