Dating Benjamin Schmidt

Since things went so well with Benjamin the first time, Miriam decided to invite him over. They stood in her kitchen and just talked. Benjamin definitely needs a makeover at some point.

Miriam thought things were going so well, that she went a little too far for a first date.

This is not a happy face.

Benjamin was not happy at all. Apparently he thought they were just friends? Anyway, he left shortly after that, and Miriam was left unhappy and confused. She didn't understand why Benjamin was not receptive to the kiss. He had been more than happy to flirt with her for a whole afternoon before.

Miriam left Benjamin alone for awhile and continued to work on her novels and make some more money to further furnish her house. She's written two Science Fiction novels so far, and improved her writing skill significantly.

The season changed to fall and then winter before Miriam heard from Benjamin again. This time, he called to ask her on a date. Since the Winter Festival was in town, Miriam suggested they go ice skating there.

Benjamin showed up, not properly dressed for the season. He was probably freezing. But he appeared to have a change of heart about Miriam, because instead of going skating, he started flirting with her. Miriam thought it might be best to try again for that first kiss. She does have the Brave trait.

It went much better this time.
