Alice tried to smile, but it came out as a sort of grimace. She suddenly realized how very little she was wearing, but she also realized he had tastefully arranged her clothing to cover her more intimate areas. Good...she liked that. As he looked at her face, she saw his eyes narrow on her cheek. Remembering what was there, she frowned and hoped he wouldn't ask too many questions. Even though Louis was dead...hopefully...she still didn't want to talk about it. His gaze moved back to her side wound and she breathed a sigh of relief, even as she realized she liked to look at him. He was a handsome man, and she...well, she'd never been allowed to look at other men for any length of time, so the fact that she was free to feel attraction was nice.<br/><br/>As he spoke, she nodded and winced slightly.<br/><br/>"Good."<br/><br/>Then her voice quieted.<br/><br/>"Thank you, Rich."
