He moved his hands closer until his fingers almost touched the tips of hers. He looked into her eyes and took her hand. “Calm yourself” he said softly “I have an idea” he paused giving her some time to relax “How about if I escort you upstairs and wait for you on the stairwell whilst you go and greet the guests.” He paused once again as he realised that he did not want to let go of her hands, but he knew that he must, for now. The connection between them was growing, that much he was sure of. He considered it further and taught that maybe he would hold onto her for that little bit longer. He then composed himself and continued “Once you are done you can return to the stairwell and we can do a little exploring. That way you do not have to feel that you have disappointed your employers. What do you say to that?” He then reluctantly released his light hold of her hands and gave her some time to consider his proposal.
