Samantha noticed Kiryu looked really upset.  She wondered what was going on with him.  She turned to look at Nate.<em>"Is there anywhere we can go to talk?"</em>She liked the way he smelled, and to her that was a good thing.  She smiled at him.<em>"Thank you for standing up for me. I really appreciated it."</em>She looked away from his eyes. Was she starting to fall for him? She brushed off the idea, blaming it on the heat she was in.
