	I don't detect it. Either you are good at hiding it or my skills has a detective have gone down dramatically. [reaches across and takes her hand with the one that his ring used to be on, softly placing his other hand on top petting lightly.] Is there something you are holding back too?

	... There is. [can't lie when he looks so earnest. maybe she wasn't the right woman for this job after all. for what Madara wanted, he should have picked someone who was a great actress with zero compassion. may be quiet and go along with anything the person she loves wants, but isn't devoid of emotions, not just yet.] ...

	I'm sorry to hear that. Really, I am. [completely sincere about it.] Whoever the person was who done that was an idiot. I'm sorry if it sounds harsh but for someone to hurt someone as gentle, smart and breathtaking as yourself, could only be that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I would think it depended on how much contact you have with a person. Love is a fickle thing. You can't help who you fall in love with even if it is one sided. Once you separate yourself from them, over time the feelings will dwindle to nothing but if you are around them, one sided or not, it will still stay strong. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Thank you. You didn't seem like the type that would want to be swept off your feet in some whirlwind with dinner and dancing. You may be but it was just the impression I got. I felt something a bit more intimate would be for you. Someone who likes to visit a country to smell the scent of a flower that smell rotten, the typical romance is not everything they are after.

[shouldn't be after romance at all... but it's what she was told to do, how can she be blamed for feeling something for him? unless she was set up... looks thoughtful for a moment, thinking everything over while disgusting her thoughts with a few more bites of food before looking up at him, sneakily slipping her foot from her shoe and extending under the table, gently toeing up the length of his calves. the ultimate in flirty gestures!]

... Thanks. [glances down at it, fishing into the bag, giving a little bow and stepping down the hall briefly to excuse herself, not wanting to be rude and chat on the phone. picks up before it ends, listening to the person on the other end, not saying a word until he's done, and not getting a chance because he just hangs up. is still for a moment, then returns, wanting to make up some lie to explain it but can't immediately think of anything, and is sure she just looks submissive right now.] ... Sorry. It was just a wrong number. It was strange, though. The person sounded really worried.
