Going too Far (100-146)

Summary:
In this 3rd section of this book, Meg and John's relationship got much better. They found out a lot about each other. For John, Meg found out from him that he loves art and if he had gone to college, which he said he will not do, he would have majored in art and not criminal justice or law. Meg told John why she was in such of hurry to leave her parents house and live on her own. She told him that they were overprotective and make her work at their restaurant without paying her, like she is their slave. John also told Meg about how he went all around Europe after he graduated police academy. Meg was surprised and admitted she was jealous. They made a truce to be friends and stop fighting and for the first time, John allowed Meg to touch him while he was in uniform. As they went back to work and headed to take care of a barfight, Meg encountered her boyfriend (or ex-boyfriend), Eric, with John's ex-girlfriend Angie together drinking at the bar. John, doing his job, warned them about underage drinking, and as he drive behind their cars to make sure they get home safely, John and Meg made a "date" for "6:01 A.M. Thursday." This actually was a sex date they planned once they get off their shift on Thursday morning. As they build up to "6:01 A.M. Thursday", they get closer to each other, relationship wise, that John let Meg into his apartment that is full of arts on the walls after he was soaked with mud and rain and had to change.
Now they are just waiting for the day to come where they come back to the apartment and do something else than just check out John's arts, change privately, and head back to police work.

Quote:
"John held me with the dark look. Part of me wanted to embrace the dark look, chase it wherever it went, on the off chance I could convert it to my side" (Echols 100)

Reaction:
I don't really understand what Meg is saying here but it sounds really nice. I know she likes John's dark look so perhaps she is literally saying that she wished that this look could stay on his face forever because it give her warmth. But I don't quite understand when she said on the off chance to covert it to her side. Does she want that dark look herself?
