"Well, hello again. And I commend your memory. You're...Crispin, was it?" She let the slightest Southern drawl enter her voice, crossing her arms as she waited.

"yes thats is right."he laughed lightly. "WHere are you headed off to?"he asked her clasping his hands behind his back standing straight. Sometimes he forgot he was trying to fit in.

Arabelle tilted her head. "Nowhere, really. Just needed to be alone to think. Sometimes I wish my father hadn't insisted on bringing us up from Georgia." She paused, not really sure why she was talking about the over-and-done part of her life. It hurt far too much, and she turned away so he couldn't see her tears.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll be fine. It's just...I miss Georgia. I hate it here, but I have no choice. There's just not enough space to suit me...I want to be back beside the ocean, with the salt air and the waves." She sighed heavily. "New York's no place for me, but my father did insist on coming here." Wiping the tears away, she glanced up. "I hope you don't think less of me, crying here like I did."

"No of course I wouldnt."he smiled. "You're away from home, the place you love. Theres no shame in crying for that."

I guess I always knew that, but I just needed to hear somebody else say it." She fell silent, not sure what more she could say.

"If you need anyone to talk to ...or cry to."he smiled. "I wouldnt mind and I wouldnt judge either."he assured her. "I know its probably strange coming from someone you dont even know but..."he shrugged again.

And thank you again." She began to walk away, her hazel eyes shining with new happiness. Maybe Manhattan wouldn't be so bad anymore, now that she had someone she could trust.

I never choose a destination when I go out...I like to go wherever my feet will take me." She didn't care if he thought that was odd; it was perfectly alright to her.

You wouldnt mind some company would you?"he asked. He had nowhere to go and didnt find it a bad idea to go for a walk with her and maybe get to know her some more.

At long last, it felt as if a storm had cleared from her heart and the sun was bright in her soul. Life wouldn't be so bad now that she had a friend to talk to.
