[~echo~]

Dallas nodded as he searched her eyes imploringly, trying to get her to look at the 'napkin.' He smiled. "Is there anything else you require?"

[CrimsonMoon]

Her hand slips up and grasps the napkin taking the glass as well," I... Wait a moment," she murmurs and turns toward the window, reading the note

[~echo~]

It read,

Ayla, this is Dallas. I am heartened to hear of your marriage prospect and hope that David treats you right. I love and miss you.

Dallas watched for any reaction, simply drinking in the girls beautiful face.

[CrimsonMoon]

Ayla breathes in quickly and buries her face in her hands, the note in her trembling hands as she sobs quietly," I-I'm sorry..."

[~echo~]

Dallas watched sadly. "Will there be anything else? Would you like something to snack on?"

[~echo~]

Bump

[CrimsonMoon]

" N-no thank you..." She breathes in sharply and closes her eyes tightly, holding the napkin to her chest

[~echo~]

Dallas gave a short bow, longing desperately to hug her, comfort her... but he couldn't.

[CrimsonMoon]

" It's ok:.." She whispers and closes her eyes, forcing her tears to stop," Please just... Stay with me for awhile longer...."

[~echo~]

Dallas bit his lip. "You must order me to do something before you're guaranteed I'll do it," he murmured, referring to when they were kids and she ordered him to let her clean his wound.

[CrimsonMoon]

Her eyes widened slightly and she palms her eyes,"... You better... Stay... Or i'll... I'll follow you around... Like a lost puppy," she smiles at him weakly

[~echo~]

Dallas smiled his signature lopsided smile. "I thought you would remember that."

[CrimsonMoon]

" You... You jerk," she grins and reaches out to him," You were here all along... I never imagined you as a ginger..." She dries her eyes and sniffs

[~echo~]

Dallas smiled sadly. "Yeah, I hate it. But I take orders." He didn't return her reach. "The cameras," he warned.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Oh sorry," she smiles weakly and closes her eyes,"... Still... Ginger," she chuckles

(Found the perfect song for this thread:

[~echo~]

Dallas smiled. "Yeah, ginger."

(Ill listen to it )

[CrimsonMoon]

She smiles and laughs," Cute... Never would have thought.."

[~echo~]

"Well, I needed a disguise so," he grinned.

[CrimsonMoon]

She stands and glances at the camera in the corner of the room before whispering to him playfully," In the gardens... Meet me in the Gardens tonight around midnight... We can talk there,"

[~echo~]

"I will," he whispered. "I have to go now," he said, walking off.
