Wednesday, continued …
James observed Anna and Amanda talking turned Alecia, and quietly asked "Do you want to go for a short walk in the gardens?"
Fascinated by the man in front of her, Alecia looking at James from under her eyelashes said "Absolutely."
James offered Alecia his hand and they walked through the small dining room to the patio outside it before James showed Alecia to a chair in the shade before sitting down himself.
"Sorry to drag you off before you go out ..."
"You did not," came the quiet response from Alecia.
"I was worried. You seemed like you were ready to cry, and that was the last thing I wanted to see happen to you. What are you worried about? Can I help?"
