She didn"t want to, but knew that holding on to him like this would not lead to anything good so she tried to untangle her limbs from his . Her jerky movements broke his sleep and he turned to her with soft eyes . The chocolate of his eyes were charismatic and clear like the reflection of her mother"s tea . His skin was even more perfect and poreless like she was staring at the airbrushed face on a fashion magazine . To be so close, was as if she had been punched in the gut .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt Her heart skipped a beat as she meet his gaze . He looked like a skilled martial general who had been cornered by an a.s.sa.s.sin and was waiting for the right moment to strike to make his escape . Then his eyes soften inexplicably and she felt like a small child crested in his lap -- the apple of his eyes . The strange emotions made her wonder . . . what from last night could cause this?
His tone was like the rustle of leaves as his eyes focused on her . "You have returned to your senses, have you?"
Her senses? What a perfectly polite way to put her mental trial . "Oh, true . I am back in my own bearing . I"m very glad that this ordeal is over . " She c.o.c.ked her head, indicating his room . "I am not really interested in this s.p.a.ce for the reason it is yours . I never intended to intrude on your privacy like this . But I have no memory of how I got here, Henry . Can you tell me? I know my more able bodied age group would love to be in my position . But in truth, it makes me more tired to think of being cut by so many sharp tongues . "
Henry nodded with a knowing smile . "You are not the one to covet being a rich man"s wife . "
Ellie felt good that in this they were in agreement . "As this is the case, how did I come to be here in the course of the night?"
"It"s nothing worth mentioning . You were lost . I dismissed most of the staff last night due to my irritation so you were not properly watched . You got out and you wandered here, I"m a.s.suming in search of someone to help you . "
His voice made her remember a blurred vision of paintings she didn"t recognize and statues that were sharp and cold to the touch . There was a guard rail that she had followed because she wanted to find home and a man"s voice had guided her back . It was steady and strong like her father"s so she had come around . . . Henry"s face blossomed in her mind . A blush began to come on her cheeks as she remembered looking down at a mosaic a couple floors below her and wanting to jump so she could get near it . "Oh my G.o.d, I was so far gone I think I didn"t remember that I was in your house . I thought I was Alice stuck in a wonderland that I was trying to get out of . I was going to jump off a cliff which I a.s.sume is that opening by . the door . I couldn"t even tell where I was off to . "
