Even James wasn't so oblivious to the situation that he realized how off balance he'd made her.  Not deliberately, of course, but it was there nonetheless.  He half turned toward her, offering her his elbow so that they could walk together to the limousine that he had waiting outside the recital hall.<br/><br/>He let the driver open the door, waiting for Melissa to climb into the limousine before him.  He settled onto the seat across from her to give her a bit of space, trying to give her a reassuring smile.  Hopefully, she'd catch both her breath and her balance by the time they arrived at the hotel.  Which in this case happened to be the Tally Ho Inn (http://www.tallyho-inn.com/).<br/><br/>Once she was in his rooms, he'd explain what he had in mind to her.  Of course, he'd hardly expect that she'd make a decision on the spot.   But then again, he'd been wrong before.   "Relax, Miss Hall.   I am, after all, a nobleman.  And it's not in my nature to take undue advantage of a lady."
