Julia's last two relationships ended badly and she barely got any time at all to be truly romantic with Richard. She and James were always that couple who just gelled well and they weren't particularly passionate, just a solid duo that seemed obvious to continue on into marriage someday. A sensible match. Julia used to be very sensible like that. She's already felt things with the Doctor that she never has before. A thrill, a connection, like minds coming together, and a deeper attraction than what she's used to.
They go on their adventure throughout the day and she's nervous but in a good way when he says they should go back to their cabin. It's so easy being around him and she knew from the start of this that they would be sleeping in the same room. There is no expectation there for anything, she is well aware. The Doctor is the last person who would apply pressure and he's just as nervous about this as she is, she's certain of it. They're both stepping outside of their comfort zone.
Julia sets down her bag in the cabin and fluffs out her hair. She is glad she's wearing a dress, it makes her feel pretty and feminine, although she's sure he likes her in anything she wears. But it's been a while leading to this moment and she turns to look at him. He's trying to make things less awkward, which she adores him for, but there is an elephant in the room. And Julia's mind is made up.
"I'd suggest strip Gin Rummy but you'd lose so fast, you have no idea." Julia smiles at him and tells her nerves to cool it, stepping forward to meet him. She reaches out to take his hands. "I'm about to be super vulnerable so, uh, be kind about it, okay?" She knows he will be, but still. Julia looks up at him. "I haven't wanted to be alone with a man or with a man since everything that happened, but I ... do want it now. If you want it."
