"You're right. My apologies." Christine said, blushing.

by **feathertail** Tue Jul 07, 2015 9:42 pm

Tom nodded sharply.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Jul 07, 2015 9:52 pm

Christine felt a little disappointed. She had hoped they would become friends.

by **feathertail** Tue Jul 07, 2015 9:56 pm

Tom continued to observe the crowd.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Jul 07, 2015 10:32 pm

Christine was approached by many people and she would smile and talk with them. She grew very tired very quickly.

by **feathertail** Tue Jul 07, 2015 10:40 pm

Tom stood against the wall, watching.

by **Caroline Berry** Tue Jul 07, 2015 11:14 pm

Soon, Christine's smiles got weaker and her words got shorter.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 9:44 am

Tom stepped in and took her arm, gently leading her outside to get some fresh air without saying a word.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 10:02 am

"Merci beaucoup." she said softly, taking a few moments to breathe.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 10:15 am

Tom inclined his head.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 10:21 am

"I'm sorry. It's just a lot of people." Christine said.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 10:28 am

"No matter."

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 10:45 am

Christine smiled at Tom slightly. "Thank you." she said.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:05 am

"You are welcome." Tom nodded.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:08 am

She moved some hair out of her face.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:12 am

"Are you okay to go back inside?" Tom asked.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:21 am

Christine took another breath and nodded.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:34 am

Tom started to walk back inside.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:40 am

Christine followed and started talking to more people. She would introduce them to Tom and they would look at him with suspicion before moving on to talk to other people.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 11:56 am

Tom simply quirked an eyebrow at them before moving.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 12:12 pm

"I'm sorry." Christine said. "Many of these people have known me since I was a child. A lot of them have helped me get to where I am. They're very protective of my reputation."

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 12:33 pm

"It's okay. If you'd feel more comfortable if I went, please do say so."

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 1:36 pm

"Please, Monsieur Whittaker, you're the only thing keeping me from passing out." she laughed softly.

by **feathertail** Wed Jul 08, 2015 1:44 pm

Tom smiled slightly.

by **Caroline Berry** Wed Jul 08, 2015 1:46 pm

"I'm not going to lie, Monsieur Whittaker, I was hoping to make a fries out of you tonight. I don't have many true friends. It would be nice to have just one." Christine said honestly.
