She rested her head on his shoulder and gave a humorless laugh. Then she closed her eyes and inhaled his familiar scent, the smell of man and sea. She pulled back enough to look at him and search his eyes, "It is alright if you don't wish to... I understand that I put a lot on your mind."

She sighed and her arms went around him too. She should probably go home... she had forgotten that Douglas' man was still outside wondering what was going on.
