<div align="center"><em>Tilly...with Shawn.</em></div><br/>Tilly smiled and nodded. She didn't know why she had caught his attention so quickly, but she'd be lying if she said she didn't enjoy the attention...probably more than she should.<br/><br/>"One should always hold on to hope."<br/><br/>When he reminded her of her desk, she pulled herself back to reality and smiled a bit awkwardly. Aline seemed to be busy with other people, but if she wished to speak to her, then she would be at her desk. She didn't want to leave Shawn yet, but he seemed to be heading that way. The gallery wasn't busy yet, so Matilda figured Ms. Myobi wouldn't mind if they chatted a bit more...or at least walked there together.<br/><br/>"We can speak to her, or you can. I don't mind. You seem to know her better than I do, so I would be fine with you taking the reins."<br/><br/>Oh shoot. Another image. This time of Shawn burying himself into her bent over form while grasping at her red curls like reins. Immediately, she shook her head and stuttered a bit. She wasn't that kind of girl! What was wrong with her? If she didn't know better, she'd almost think he was putting those thoughts inside her head himself...but she wouldn't flatter herself<em>that</em>much. He might honestly just wish a picture and nothing more. She couldn't explain the disappointment she felt at that thought, but she covered it up quickly.<br/><br/>"I'm rather impatient, so it's nice to know you don't share that undesirable quality."<br/><br/>She couldn't imagine him ever being undesirable, but that was beyond the point.<br/><br/>"Please let me know when you make a decision."<br/><br/>Then she walked with him over to the receptionist desk and moved behind it, still making eye contact with Shawn.
