Chapter 4

Just as the male begins walking my way, I slide back farther into the shadows, wondering what this male would do if he saw me here. As his strides take barely any time to reach the darkness of the hall I stand right in the middle of, the moment he sees me, he stays frozen. Am I not someone he has wanted to see? Eyes scan me over and over, as if trying to memorize every detail. Tall, built, and an intimidating look about him, I feel no fear as I stand before him. For some reason, I feel relaxed as I look to him. Reaching out his hand, he quickly pulls it away, as if afraid he might damage something. He takes a small step forward, looking at me as the silence wraps around the two of us. Reaching out once more, he allows his fingers to just barely brush against my chin, only to retreat slightly. "Can-can I hold you?" He asks, unsure of my response as I do not know whether to allow or deny him. He seems lile someone who could use some sort of affrction and I seem to trust him.
