After all was said and done Carley was right, his muscles did loosen up. He had muscles loosen up that he wasn't aware were that tight. There they were again enjoying each others company under the stars, then it hit him like a ton of bricks. What was this night about? what really happened? This really was a gift, Carley became vulnerable in his arms. The strong can only stay that way for so long before they need this, they only do it with people they really feel safe with. This was a level of trust that is never given lightly, nor it be treated as such.
From what Cologero could tell she had deep seeded trust issues, given to her by someone she valued. That was the reason when she walked beside someone, it was always slightly behind. It was like her shield, when it was time to allow someone in that shield dropped. For this little while Cologero knew that it was a long time since she had done this, she even stepped out of her comfort zone to do this.
How she was in Ten Forward to how she was returning from the Bathroom, Cindy was there too not acting as the shield but as support. It looked like it took the combined efforts of a few to build her up to this point, and he didn't want to be the person who tears it all down. Cologero felt her ear just over his heart, it gave him a big smile looking down at her. There was even more of a glow to her that he loved seeing, she was also right about not being able to do that again for a while. It didn't matter to him, there were more important issues to handle. First question they should work on was where were they going from here? His place or hers?
