Melody looked up at him, smiling gently. There weren't too many places around London that she knew about so there wasn't a lot of places that she wanted to go. Besides, she had promised Glenn and Alyson that they would all go sight-seeing together before the end of the week. She knew that date was going to be coming up quick and a portion of her just didn't want to return.

Sighing gently, Melody shook those thoughts away as she tried to think of somewhere that they could go. "How about a park? I really don't feel for sight-seeing right now, besides I promised I'd go with Glenn and Alyson sometime" she said with a smile, hoping she hadn't hurt his feelings or anything. That would have really torn her apart if she had.

"There's not a lot of places that I know about here or anywhere in Europe really. I mean there's countries I want to go to like Ireland, Scotland, Germany." she said looking up at him. "Though my heart is set on seeing Scotland first. I want to see how beautiful the country is plus I would be able to hear the delicious Scottish accent all the time, after all, its my favorite" she continued, smiling up at him.

Sean leaned against the side of the building as he waited for her answer, completely relaxed. He hadn’t noticed how hyped up he had been until they were in the small space between the buildings; probably being away from the coffee shop and the caffeine was helping him to slow down again.

He watched as she thought for a minute before she responded "How about a park? I really don't feel for sight-seeing right now, besides I promised I'd go with Glenn and Alyson sometime" and offered him a smile. He actually preferred this option to showing her around London. He wasn’t a big fan of tourist destinations, he found them over crowded and over rated. He preferred the simpler things that people sometimes didn’t value enough to go there. Nature was one of those things he valued very highly.

He also didn’t want to come between her friends, especially since she had already mentioned that she couldn’t stand being with them for too long. The three winners must not have been that good of friends if she’d have been so open about their difficulties with him; a complete stranger. Maybe things were more complicated than that though, but it wasn’t his place to ask, so he didn’t comment on it.

“I think going to the park sounds like a good idea,” he said with a wide smile, appreciating her choice of venue. He knew a very nice park not too terribly far from where they now stood as a matter of fact.

"There's not a lot of places that I know about here or anywhere in Europe really. I mean there's countries I want to go to like Ireland, Scotland, Germany." she said looking up at him, it wasn’t until now that he noticed how much taller than her he actually was. "Though my heart is set on seeing Scotland first. I want to see how beautiful the country is plus I would be able to hear the delicious Scottish accent all the time, after all, its my favourite" she continued, smiling up at him.

Was she hitting on him? Quite possibly, he couldn’t yet decide whether he approved or not, he barely new the girl for Heaven’s sake. Obviously she knew he was form Scotland, almost anyone who knew him knew that he was from Glasgow, and the Scottish accent was also a bit of a dead giveaway. He chose to ignore the comment for now, not wanting to hurt her feelings or encourage her any farther.

Yes, the view in Scotland is very nice, well at least on my side of it. There’s nothing like being at the top of a hill and looking out over the country side. It’s very picturesque.” Sean could recall moments like that with surprising vividness, things like that tended to stick with you through your life; there was just nothing like it in the world. ”Though I cannot say that I notice the Scottish accent all that much, English accents yes, but no Scottish. That’s probably because I grew up around people speaking it,” he said with a smile. ”C’mon, I know a park not too far from here,” he said, stepping out into the street to lead the way he knew so well by now.

Melody looked at him, following him as he lead her towards the park. She stayed silent for the most part, lost within her thoughts. She was afraid that maybe he thought she was hitting on him or that she was trying too hard. She didn't want to come off like that, and she was scared that she was now.

Sighing gently, Melody looked up at the sky, feeling the gentle breeze wash over her face. She lowered her gaze to his back and stared at it, keeping a few feet back only so she could think, and not worry about saying something stupid. She was known for saying stupid things, especially at the wrong time.

After a while though, Melody grew bored and annoyed of the silence so she decided to speak, not sure if she was sounding stupid or something. "So Sean, any lucky girl in your life?" she asked, not remembering if she had read anything in the tabloids about that.
