WHO: Kori and Mike. WHAT: Mike joins her on Liberty Island. WHEN: January 31. WHERE: Liberty Island. RATING: Low? STATUS: In progress.
In a lot of way it was nice to have Mike come out to the island. Kori was almost giddy with anticipation. He was feeling better and was coming to see her. He was okay with them just talking. She didn't get the impression that he was disappointed that they had to start over. That in a way she wanted them to go through the whole dating process a second time.
She'd been putting it off for so long and then she got bit. All Kori wanted was to try. And when he'd been with her for two weeks. His being there had made a world of difference. He didn't want to be anywhere without her. And a little piece of her distrust of him and most other melted.
She paced the safe house as she waited for Mike to arrive. She wasn't sure what she was going to do when he got there. She was excited though. Maybe more than she'd ever seemed via text when she'd asked him to come. It was there in her step the way she seemed to float as she moved.
When he finally appeared from his boat ride though Kori couldn't help the smile that spread across her lips. "Hey you," she greeted her voice tender.
