"Thank you." her voice is a near whisper.
"Uhh...yeah. Do you want to come back to my house for the night?"
"Thank you, but I couldn't intrude."
"It wouldn't be an intrusion." I assure her-maybe a bit too eagerly...
"Oh, then I guess..." she pauses as if thinking of alternatives "Yeah. That sounds good." she smiles that amazing smile.
"Oh good. Do you have any belongings?"
"Yeah.." she looks around "Where--? Oh." she sounds a bit despairing and looks up into the tree.
I look up as well and see a brown satchel hanging from one of the top branches. "I'll get it if you want?"
She looks at me as if just remembering I was there. "Could you? This leg..."
I nod and go over to the tree.
