*She couldn't help but giggle at the strange man that grew more and more appealing as time went on. Just like herself, he was not at all what he seemed. Well, in the sense of outside appearances being all that people bothered to look at before judging. She liked that, she liked it a lot. *<br/><br/>*However he did manage to catch her at a loss of words, and ability to think when he took her hand into his own huge warm one. It happened to be perfectly timed with the first snowflake falling from the sky and landing on his cheek before melting away. She knew because her eyes had landed upon his face at that precise moment. Her lips parted slightly as she pulled in a soft breath at the odd slowing protracted thump of her heartbeat. For a moment all that happened was her next step forward, the inhalation of her breath, the melting of the snowflake upon his cheek and his eyes turning to look into her own. *<br/><br/>*The moment faded and she turned her eyes downwards for a moment and she was pulled along with him easily. Her cheeks fully flushed, and pink. She dared not speak for a time yet, only nodding and making soft sounds of agreement as he lead her into the shop.*<br/><br/>*It took her even longer to finally see the beauty and originality of the coffee shop he had taken her to patronize. She could tell that she would be a forever fan of this place. It was kind of nerd coffee nirvana after all.*<br/><br/>"Wow."  * Was all she was able to finally manage as they moved to go and take a seat, her hand having finally been released for the moment. Her hand missed that warmth, and after she slipped inside she reached out to grasp his again.*  "It got cold." *was all she said in the way of apologizing for being so forward, and hoped he didn't mind. She really needed the connection for some reason.*
