"Have you really made up your mind about dating me?" James asked Laura who was abnormally silent while they were walking.

"Mmh" Laura replied.

"Really?" James asked to make sure.

"How many times do you want me to repeat myself? You were like this last night too" Laura complained since James kept asking if she was sure about her decisions.

"I need to make sure you aren't taking this too lightly. I don't date often but I tend to be serious when I do, I want to make sure we're on the same page" James explained.

He was worried that Laura was taking him lightly and was just curious about him and had no intention of seriously dating him. He never did things casually as he found that they were a waste of time since he doesn't benefit much from them.

"Do I look like I'm taking this lightly?" Laura asked as she stopped to look at him. James looked at her and raised his eyebrows as if to ask her if she really wanted him to answer her question.
