Advertis.e.m.e.ntEllie was happy to see that Henry had known that she too would enjoy his childhood haunt .   She could imagine herself sneaking up here as a child to get away from her insufferable brother .   It was that type of a nice hidden place where things could be kept dry even in rain . Ellie liked it immensely when she sat on the wooden table under the gazebo like roof .   It reminded her more of a restaurant booth, but instead of a good view, there were books placed within easy reach on the shelves all around them . There was a charged kindle waiting for both of them which strangely seemed out of place .   They both sat down and read for a while . But after a bit, Ellie found her eyes drifting away from the novel she'd been reading .

She found herself drawn to the statue standing pensively in the garden and wanted to remark on how similar it looked to Henry .   The expression was spot on from when he had accompanied her on their morning stroll . The taunt musculature was the same as the biceps and shoulders that Ellie could see through his thin grey sweats.h.i.+rt .   It was a simple piece of clothing, but compared to the tailored business suits that Ellie was used to seeing him in . This type of clothing seemed to suit him best . It had been like walking next to an angel as the sun highlighted his perfect features .   It was only now that Ellie realized he was truly relaxed as cookie crumbles clung to the side of his mouth . She wanted to touch that area of his face, but it was too soon .

Like a mirage disappearing, she had felt safe enough to try her true intent .   She had let her feelings spill out when she had tried to present another avenue to their relations.h.i.+p .   It had shocked her to see his quick horror . True horror -- like the small child who had walked into a haunted house and regretted instantly .   It had also made her wonder why that little boy would be scarred when he had been brave everywhere else . Ellie had taken some steps back to get a more firm grasp on the situation .   Henry's reactions were strange so she had not taken the response personally . It was alright to take these things more slowly . She could not let her feelings command her actions quite yet .   There was more to understand before she made some progress .

To think Henry could be frightened?  She wished it was some type of misunderstanding .   The darkness that had flashed over his face had made her feel uneasy .   It would have been simple if he had the regret of someone who was in love with a lady whom was not the same woman who was approaching .   His expression had not really been consistent with the words that were coming out of his mouth . His true thoughts were obviously motivated by some trauma that was deeper than what she had seen of him .
