She pulled on her overly long sleeves something that normally didn't bother her but now did. Why again had she chosen an outfit that accentuated how small and child like she looked? She'd done so because in the morning on the plane it had been comfortable but now back on the island like the first time she'd visited she felt out of her depth. She knew it was but nerves, it always took her a day or two to adjust to something wholly new, she wasn't all that stellar with change but still knowing that didn't help in the moment.<br/><br/>She was just about to turn around and leave, she had bags to unpack and a kitchen to look in on but then the door opened and he was there larger then life. Wide shoulders filled the door way and she had to tilt her head back just to look at him. She'd forgotten how tall he was. His voice was like warm caramel and she felt herself smiling most likely foolishly. See him again, his charming easy smile, the humor of his voice melted away a large measure of her fears and she felt herself relaxing. She could feel the tension leaving her shoulders and neck, where she always seemed to carry it and the mild headache that had been building in her temples seemed to vanish in a moment.<br/><br/>"How very gentlemanly of you." She teased lightly smiling softly. He reached out for her as if for a hug and she went into his embrace like it was the most natural thing in the world. He was too tall for her to slide her arms around his neck so she hugged him around his waist tucking her head against his chest for just a moment, relishing the feel of his arms around her, holding her, before drawing back and smiling up at him. "It's good to be back. I missed you." She said honestly the words passing her lips without thought. She wanted to snatch back the words as soon as she said them but it was too late. In the end maybe it was best, she cherished the honesty she felt between them and would hate to tarnish that with half truths any more then was necessary for the time being.<br/><br/>
