Frederic's smile, which had drooped a bit when Miss Calloway bit her lip- had he said something wrong? -widened for a third time in the last few minutes and he replied, endeared by the blush growing on her cheeks and the way she'd asked about himself, his son, then his work, "It would be my honor." He offered her the crook of his arm, and so they started on their way, Miss Calloway leading as she was the only one out of the two of them who knew the way to her house.
"What is it that you desire to know of me, Miss Calloway?" he asked, willing to share quite a bit if she asked him. There was something about those eyes, something that he was just noticing now, that was drawing him in, letting him trust her as if she wasn't practically a stranger. "Don't be shy, I can be rather talkative if given the chance- and the good company."
