"If it makes you uncomfortable…”
He set her down gently and waited to let go of her until she was steady on her feet.
"Are sure your ok?"
“Yeah, I think so. I mean I can walk, I’m sure I’ll be bruised and sore tomorrow but I’m alright for now.”
She didn’t mention that she was still pretty shaken up emotionally but that was probably a given after her little crying jag. She looked around and saw they were only a half a block from her apartment. She realized she hadn’t actually given Valentine her exact address.
A small voice in her head screamed at her to tell him goodnight now because he was not someone she wanted knowing where she lived. The words started to form on her lips but then fear wormed its way through her and the words died. The idea of walking just half a block alone, even on a well-lit street, terrified her.
“Uhm, it’s just down the block a bit,” she said as she started walking.
She hated that fear was controlling her, it only made her feel weaker than she already did. The thought that she could self-diagnose and treat herself floated through her mind and she almost laughed out-loud. Stupid shock, she thought, grateful she’d been able to stifle a laugh. Not that Valentine would’ve cared, she was still pretty sure he was somewhere on the crazy scale himself. She glanced over at him for a moment before looking away.
“Weren’t you scared? I mean to like confront them. There were three of them...and they had a knife.”
