Before she got to far past him he took a hold of her elbow and eased her back to him, leaning down to kiss her for a minute or two. Kissing her wasn't admitting that he'd missed her, at least not in his mind. In his mind kissing was a way to show he was attracted to a woman, and he was letting her know that above all that had happened she was still attractive. Yes. That was it.
Letting her go he walked around the room and watched as she packed her things. The room looked expensive and he wondered why she needed something so fancy when she was trying to get away from something. maybe it was just him that thought the less was better when you were running away from things.
