Her gaze was dazed as she looked up at him, confusion and concern both showing in the cast of her features at his sudden withdrawal. Had she done something wrong? His teasing warning earned a nod though she did not quiet believe that was his reason for drawing back. Perhaps he hadn't enjoyed the kiss. Perhaps that one rainy day had been all he would ever want from her.<br/><br/>Fiona gathered herself in though and offered him a easy smile finding herself working at subterfuge actively for the first time with him; dissembling had never been something she had a great talent at but she was good enough at it to handle the moment she hoped. She took another step back from him, widening the distance between them and giving him his space. Gracefully she dipped a slight curtsy to him, her head inclined downward as well. "Of course. Forgive me if I was in any way too forward."<br/><br/>The redhead stepped around him to glide back toward the house slowly with her eyes still focused on the familiar ground and the path that led to the door they had left by. She hoped she had not ruined one of the best friendship's she had with her foolishness but...she was glad to have gotten his promise regardless, to have felt his lips. Even if it was only torturing her heart inside with being uncertain of where things stood it was something, better him then Zara. She wasn't physically strong but she was honest, sweet and she surrendered to passion well, those would be her 'weapons' of choice with dealing with the other woman. And she might feel his touch again.<br/><br/>Such a day of turmoil, it would serve no purpose in the coming evening though and so with a gentle firmness she discarded anything but the thoughts of sunshine and eagerness at the thought of pleasing someone that evening.<br/><br/>----<br/><br/>To (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=113923.msg5258947#msg5258947)
