It was comforting to know she had caught his interest for now. In a way, her mind processed this as a compliment. She wasn't boring or dull and that was relieving. After his reassuring statement she would grow quiet. Too quiet, in fact. He made no further movements, none to provide her with a slight hint of the assistance he had offered. Her blank thoughts raced for words, sentences, questions or anything to break the silence. Perhaps it was a convenient state for her mind, as she had almost forgotten about the troubles that had been bothering her.
She would try to keep their eye contact but the longer she swam in his sea of amber, the urge to look away grew. An awkward chuckle slipped uneasily from her lips as her eyes quickly darted to the ground before connecting their gazes once more. Faintly, she felt lost. Was there something he wanted her to do?
