[ oh, thank god. raleigh's not quite sure what he would've done if she said no. other than the obvious answer of leave her alone because he's not a creepy stalker. nope, no way was that going to happen.
but at the same time, that's yancy's kid over there. he's not sure he'd be able to live with himself knowing that she was around and he couldn't know her. couldn't be there for her if she ever wanted a cool uncle. couldn't help her out or make sure she was okay. ( not that he doubts that she's okay. kids aren't that happy and outgoing if they've got a shitty home life. ) that's his brother's kid and he feels responsible for her a little bit, even if he's only just met her.
( maybe he really does have gigantic family issues. )
he grins at naomi and laughs quietly. ] Well, I don't know about terrible. Maybe just mildly awful. [ he looks back at yancy, and something occurs to him. ] Hey, have you guys eaten yet? You could join us. You know, if that's not going to cause an uproar.
