*He impulsively took her hand in his. Her hand was so small, her skin such a different color... so unlike girls at home.*
"None of us wanted to be there. I hated it." *His eyes flickered up to her at the end of his sentence.*

*It was comforting, and he seemed so nice. It was nothing like what her imagination had conjured up.*
"No, no one wanted to stay. I almost didn't escape."
*Her eyes met his. She couldn't guess what he was thinking*

*He smiled a little at her.*
"You did, though."

*She shyly smiled back*
"Yes. But, I think I got lost somewhere. I wasn't trying to get to France."

"Our epic love story, being thwarted by my relocation and your village not being burned until later, and of course the power of the 'verse, called you to me. DUH."
"That's a bit out of the way." *He teased a little, but he was glad she'd found herself here by some miracle. One, he knew that she never would have escaped Vietnam without divine intervention, and second, he was glad she was here, with him.*

*She smiled a bit more*
"Yes...but, nice to be far away from it!"
*This was much better than what she'd thought was expected of her. Her nervousness lessened a bit*

*In all honesty, he'd intended on just talking with her and letting her keep John's money without asking anything of her. She was so beautiful, though, and charmingly innocent...*
"You're beautiful when you smile." *He said softly, looking up at her with a certain tentativeness in his eyes.*

*She could feel a blush threatening to appear*
"Oh...thank you. I, um...you have pretty eyes."
*Now she was blushing. She'd never said something like that to a man before.*

*He smiled, just a little bashfully, but his face was a little more serious after that.*
"You don't belong in a place like this." *He said, looking her in the eyes.*

*She didn't realize it, but she'd twined her fingers with his*
"I have nowhere else to go. This is it."

*He took a deep breath.*
"I know it's not protocol, and... I mean, it may sound forward... but would you like to come back to my apartment? It's so loud here, and it smells like smoke and cheap beer." *He said softly, still uncertain.*

*Ohhh...when did her heart feel heavy in her chest?
She wanted to say, 'yes', but...he was still a stranger, as nice as he seemed. It could be dangerous to just leave with him. Yet...
She glanced around the club. Did she really want to stay here? A place like this?
She'd taken chances before. Her luck hadn't run out yet. Biting her lip, she nodded before she could change her mind*
"All...all right. I will go with you, Chris."

"I won't force you into anything, Kim." *He said softly, before smiling, truly smiling, at her. He stood and pulled out her chair for her, holding his hand out again.*

*So polite. It made her more confident. Maybe she was right in saying yes.
She took the offered hand. He was tall, which she hadn't noticed before since they'd been sitting. She didn't mind, though.*
"Thank you." She said softly.

*He smiled down at her. She was so small.*
"Come on, let's get out of here, hmm?" *He said, gently pulling her towards the door.*
