She looked away, listening to him all the while. As he spoke, she stood up and moved towards a tree, looking up at the leaves. She might have looked as if she weren't listening, but she was, she was just doing all that she could to hide her reactions and to try to spare him from thinking her hurt her too terribly. She occupied herself by pulling a leaf from a low branch of the tree and playing with it.
Once he was finished, she turned to him with a little smile on her face. She dropped the leaf and took a step towards him. She held her hand out to him, waiting for him to take it. Her smile grew a little wider as she stared at him. "Walk with me? We've got a bit of time left before I should leave."
