[For Wilke] Communication is important
Daphne wasn't specifically looking for Wilke, but he'd been on her mind in the last few days, and not in a good way, or at least not in the way she'd prefer to have him on her mind. The awkwardness between them wasn't just going to go away on its own, she knew. It was time for them to have a serious conversation, as much as those sucked to have.
When she spotted him on the beach, she decided there was no time like the present--although she did allow herself a few minutes to psyche herself up and to watch him as he moved, playing lacrosse with the waves. She smiled, her eyes running appreciatively over his body, then squared her shoulders and moved purposefully across the beach. "Wilke!"

He grabbed his bag and stick, carrying them both over as they walked to the spot she indicated and sat. "What's on your mind?"

Still, it wasn't a conversation he really wanted to have, either.
"Okay," he said, because he didn't know what else to say.

"He hasn't even kissed me," she muttered without signing, staring at her hands and blinking quickly a few times.

"I mean, put yourself in my place for a second? After the night we had...can you honestly tell me that if I'd come to you and said there was a girl I really liked and wanted to take out, that you'd have just smiled and said 'sure, go for it, have fun'?"

Clearly this wasn't the only serious conversation she needed to have. Goody.

Wilke reached over and cupped her cheek in his hand. "I don't know, Daphne. I wish I did. You obviously feel something strong for Kon; if you didn't, you'd have told him you were seeing someone when he asked you out and that would have been that. I think you need to make sure of just what it is you feel for him before you do anything else. I'll...I'll try to be better about understanding it all in the meantime."

That, more than the boredom, was the hardest part about coming here. He'd taken a six month jump backwards on this particularly crappy emotional roller coaster.Here he thought the worst moment would have been Joey's, or when she'd shot him the big puppy eyes about Emmett's fund raising shit.
But that was different. He wasn't about to hold this Daphne accountable for shit she hadn't done yet. Christ, it all gave him a headache.

And in the spirit of trying harder, he asked a question that had pretty much been lodged in his throat since this whole thing began. "So. How is it going with him?"

"Oh," he laughed, a little hollowly. "I'm sorry just doesn't seem like the right thing to say, or it doesn't feel right anyway. I guess I don't understand it. Why ask if he's not going to act on it or anything?"

Still, he couldn't keep from tracing his finger down her cheek. "I want that, too."
