He glanced at her. She was shaking. Perhaps that had not been the best tactic to reveal things to her. He guided her to the entrance of the park and walked over to a bench, sitting down. There was something more going on here than he realized, something he should learn about before the conversation went any further. He had to ask questions and he hoped they did not cause her to panic.
He took a sip of his coffee and then looked at her once she sat down. "Before I go any further, I would like to ask you a question. Did something traumatic happen to you recently? Something that is causing you to shake so much? You do not need to give me details. I will understand if you do not wish to talk about it. But something did happen, correct?"
