Closing the door behind Cavelle as she stepped from the car, Patrick reached for her hand, "Let's go down this path that leads toward the lake."
Patrick was wanting to know if she would allow him to hold her hand as they walked; obviously, this was not something that 'friends' would do, but he wanted her to start feeling that he was interested in more than her being his assistant. Their conversation as they headed down the path was about the changing weather, how things were going in the office, etc., etc.
As they reached a spot where the path took two directions, Patrick led them down a path through a tall stand of trees that would eventually open up to the lake. As they came close to the end of the trees, Patrick stopped, used his grip on her hand to turn her to face him, tilted her chin back with the index finger on his other hand, and softly pressed his lips to hers.
Holding that kiss for only a few seconds, he pulled his head back, "I think you know that I really like you Cavelle; you are more than just an assistant to me. I find you to be quite an attractive young lady and I enjoy spending time with you . .. if the office, riding back and forth in the car, having dinner with you and Teresa."
