This couldn’t be happening. Shishi heard the man laughing at her. She was so embarrassed and she wished that she could crawl in a dark place and hide. She had made a complete fool of herself. The woman never lost control and that bothered her. She couldn’t understand why she lost control but the man seemed happy and for some reason the thought of that she made this man happy made her happy.
Shishi’s golden hazel eyes were locked on the man’s lovely blue ones for a moment. The woman didn’t know what to say. Suddenly his eyes drifted away and hers followed. The woman’s eyes softened when she saw two small children, but she blinked and they were gone. She wanted to go comfort them, but the man called her attention again.
His eyes seemed to bore into hers as he spoke his name. “Cade” she spoke in a whisper, placing the name to the mesmerizing man’s face. The woman’s heart pounded as he stepped closer. He called her brave in his soothing voice and Shishi’s eyes lit up. He brought his hand to her face and the woman’s breath caught. She felt the trail of his index finger and the gentle push of his thumb as it warmed her skin. He called her beautiful and her cheeks went flame red. Her heart was racing. The man asked her name and she could barely speak. “My name is Shishi” her voice came out as a whisper. She stayed rooted where she was. It wasn’t fear that made her so timid, but something else entirely. Something the woman never felt before.
