I get the distinct feeling that, given a chance, Booker could also be an incurable romantic. Even more so since, once he comes back to the team, he genuinely can’t believe that Nile is not only willing to forgive him, but actually give a relationship with him a chance.
He wants to do this properly, and pulls out all the stops. Taking it achingly slow, chaste kisses after a night out, pulling out her chair for her, strolling along arm in arm, little gifts and love letters left on her pillow.
Modern Woman! Nile is a little confused and offended at first actually because it seems like his idea of a relationship is from the 1950s, but he explains that he loves that she’s incredibly competent and independent but that he wants to truly cherish her, if she will let him. After that she starts to enjoy it.
