Kate was delighted to be in the presence of the young man. No longer the boy she wanted so long to meet. She was nervous and had no idea what to expect. The kiss excited her and she knew it broke every protocol. She should have slapped him. He rushed away from her.<br/><br/>"Lieutenant the kiss was nice. I see you are not afraid to show your affections. I am glad. If you were anyone else I would not have brought you into this room. I am happy you feel for me the same I feel about you. Come." She patted the cushion, "I wish to know about you. I will tell you about me. Some you most likely know. My brother, Jon, has a rather loose tongue."
