"I’m all right, I think. I just got a bump on the head. Are you okay?" Aurora wondered as she looked down at his warm manly hands that were still on her shoulders. Awkward, but nice Aurora managed to think before the man pulled his hands back, and she suddenly wished he hadn’t. That was what happened when you were in a dating dry spell and you got touched by a man even if it was just to steady her you got all these mixed emotions.
What the guy did next as he dropped down on his knees to duck-crawl after something was completely unexpected, and so funny to watch that she couldn't help but laugh. Curiously Aurora looked on as the guy kicked a magazine ahead of him as he tried to reach for something just out of his grasp."Do you need some help?" She thought it best to offer. He had helped her so she might as well return the favour right? Help? He glanced up at her from his stooped position on the ground. Help with what? Because just then his fingers closed around his ticket. Could she tell that his leg was a little stiff today? He hoped not. He hadn't thought he'd done any equivocating. Maybe he had without even realizing it. "Nope, all good here," He showed here his ticket for the Orient Express and then collected his magazine. He forced himself back to his feet where he found himself looking into dark blue eyes. She really did smell good, like he was in the middle of a field of wildflowers.
"Taking a trip are you?" he asked motioning to her trolley. What a dump question he decided. Course she was. Why else would one be in a smelly train station? Then he realized it was empty and felt even more foolish, because clearly there was another reason to be here that he hadn't considered. "Or picking up your hubby from a business trip?" Did he just seriously go there? Yes, yes he did. Teddy sometimes had very little shame.
