-It's a long time before I speak. My voice is soft and sincere- "You need someone who cares...I can supply that if you let me."
Alida: *looks up in his eyes again, heart flying, breathing is heavy, can hardly speak* what are you saying?
-I look back at her- "I'm saying you have someone who cares about you. And I'd like to get to know you."
(really Alida ) -I raise a brow hiding a grin that once to spread across my lips- "I believe we have a ways to go before that happens."
