"I see," he said quietly. Oh god, was he angry? Upset?  This is ridiculous, she told herself.  You propositioned the man... you told him you’d fantasised about him. And he blew every one of those fantasies away the first time you came here. You trust him. It’s fine. It’s fine.  She willed her rapid breathing to calm. She could not have a panic attack about this.  Oh please,  she thought,  please don’t break down in front of him.  Her eyes opened slowly and she saw his calm expression as he continued to observe her.  She still had no idea what he made of this. But... he didn’t seem angry, at least. And nor did he seem inclined to ridicule her.
