I finally spotted her up near the bar. I walked over to the bar and, shooting for casual, ordered another drink. I looked her over once more, and fe...t my pulse begin to race as she gave me the smile again, this time full wattage. Encouraged, I walked over to her, asked her name, and she told me it was Katie. “I'm Quentin” I said, and asked if I could buy her a drink. She looked at me intently for a moment, as if trying to judge my intentions, and then, evidently happy with what she saw,. It was well over an hour when they called him downstairs, what had been said only they know, but it must have been an interesting conversation, as on his return he saw his mothers lipstick was smudged, her hair dishevelled as was his aunts, as she was sat, dressed once again and looking a little flushed. “erm, ( he hated sentences by his mother that started with `erm’ it meant she was a little embarrassed or bewildered) Erm… your aunts er…going to stay… for probably about a month son, just till. I’m a decent sized guy, maybe 185cm and pretty athletic from playing football, and I’ve got broad shoulders, so I basically engulfed her small body, picking her up in the process of the hug. I probably held onto this beautiful girl for a little too long, but she didn’t seem to mind.After putting her down and releasing her from the hug, I remembered that Jeremy was there, I had basically forgotten (even though only about 20 seconds had passed since they entered the house). I decided to give him. You know what Leliana tells me, all the time? I’m too much of a gentleman. So this time, I’m not being gentlemanly. I insist. We are going to talk about this.’ ‘Alistair, I’ve told you how I feel. What happened doesn’t change that. What more is there to say?’ ‘Oh, but you haven’t, Sierra, not by a long shot. You’ve told me what you think, in that logical brain of yours, not what you feel. Ignoring, for a moment, the fact that you almost killed yourself trying to keep me alive, let’s start.
