Bri shrugged a shoulder. When he put it that way it kinda made sense. She was a complete stranger to him and he to her and she was asking him something personal, who he was. She ended up chuckling right along side him and slanted a look over at him out of the corner of her eye. To stare at him would be even, didn't matter if she found him pleasing to look at. He was right once again, he'd now given his name and she'd give hers.<strong>"Briana, my friends call me Bri. I'll answer to either one,"</strong>she said with a polite smile.<br/><br/>Derek was adamant that he wasn't going to see a ghost and maybe they wouldn't but it didn't mean they weren't out there....somewhere.<strong>"You say that now. Maybe there aren't ghosts, I don't know, it's why I'm here...Derek."</strong>she replied, brushing her hair off her shoulders and tucking it behind her ears.<strong>"I hope you get your money, and maybe I'll be proven wrong. Guess we'll have to wait and see huh?</strong>Bri chuckled again. She heard a noise off to her left that sounded a bit like footsteps and stopped dead in her tracks. She was about to ask if he'd heard it too when he was talking to her again.<br/><br/>Without giving it any thought she reached out and grabbed hold of his hand. She was scared, he was there, men were supposed to protect women. Holding his hand made perfect sense to her.<strong>"I'm not planning on trapping one. Just seeing if rumors are true, good chance they aren't."</strong>Derek wasn't the least bit afraid and she was glad one of the wasn't. Hearing footsteps again she moved closer and knocked into him, apologizing under her breath and tugging on his hand,<strong>"That's not bothering you is it?"</strong>she asked, liking the way his hand felt in hers.<br/>
