Dempsey was not just being sweet; he was also leading the way, and squeezing her hand. Sera knew enough to know that she was being seduced, but that was charming enough in and of itself — Dempsey was distinct enough from her husband that he bothered with seducing her.
She knew that this was a step that would, once it was taken, be something she could not undo. But that was why she had sought him out, was it not? She wanted to take this step; Sera wanted, desperately, to be seduced. She did not want to fall off of his roof, but she trusted him enough to go out on it with him, for better or for worse.
She stepped out of her shoes as bidden. But before they could escape, Sera caught Dempsey's hand and moved close, to kiss him deeply.
