Thorn nodded with polite interest as she began to place her laptop back into her bag; had she been truly paying attention, his comment on her appetite would have embarrassed her.  She looked around the table out of habit to make sure she had not forgotten anything, but abruptly stopped and looked into his eyes when he asked for her email.  For a few moments she just stared at him, not sure she had heard him correctly but as his fingers awaited her response, she realized she had.<br/><br/>Thorn110@jmail.com, she replied being sure to give out her personal email and not the one her and Shadow shared.  After watching him quickly enter her email into his computer, Thorn became aware of the silly smile on her face and quickly composed herself.  Maybe it was because she was hardly ever out of the house without Shadow, or maybe she was not exactly approachable with her nose buried in her laptop more times than not, but Thorn had just been caught off guard by this man across the table who was showing an interest in her.  She cleared her throat nervously and stood up.<br/><br/>“Thank you again for breakfast, Dino.  I must get back home and do some housework.  I look forward to hearing from you,” she said nervously.  After picking up her laptop bag and flashing him one more smile, Thorn turned away and started back to her house, trying to control the urge to look over her shoulder.
