I hadn't seen her for close to a month now, because she had been in Japan when I left, so naturally when I saw her, my face positively lit up. Here it...was, almost 3 in the morning, and she had bothered to get and drive into Toronto to get me. I opened the trunk, tossed in the suitcase and crawled forward, into the passenger seat. Once established in my spot, she leaned over, and kissed me full on the mouth. I responded eagerly, and our tongues met each other halfway, grappling and playing with. 'Cmon' The man said gently, now stepping up straight again. He stayed stooped slightly, reaching a big hand down to her. 'My name is Mark. My house is nicer than this barn, I can tell you', He smiled softly as her as she grabbed his hand, pulling her small frame up off the ground. 'I'm Lily''Okay Lily, let's get you home hey pet?' He chuckled again, letting go of her hand to pick up her bag, which liked comically small strung over his shoulder. Lily followed, quick steping to match Mark's large. "I am sure I'll be able to go out tonight. I have my own apartment now." She said. "All I have to do is clean up and feed my kitty."I laughed. " You won't have to worry about that." I paused. " What time do you think you'll be ready?"I was still holding her close, and I realized she was rubbing my hands. "I'll be ready by seven." She said, and pushed her fingers gently between mine, and we stood there, silently for a few moments. She melted further into my embrace, and she seemed as comfortable. I found him a very-handsome, well-built young man and strikingly like his sister. Louisa introduced me. He was most frank in his address and said he was delighted to make my acquaintance, as he had long wished to see me from the frequent mention his sister had made of me in her letters home.We had an enjoyable drive of about an hour and a half from Rouen to their father's house, which was beautifully situated on one of the well-wooded, rolling hills of the neighbourhood.We reached the house for.
