Offer to the CEO

"Alecia, what are you meaning," came the pleading reply from James.


"Fine," spat our Alecia.  "Like every day since I was attacked, talking and dealing with it hurt.  But, unlike the past I could deal with it easier."


"Why?" James questioned in a quiet voice.


"I met you yesterday.  In those few minutes we talked last night, there was something I had not had in a long time.  You saw me as me, not as a victim.  That made me feel powerful and safe.  I was then able when your sister asked me able to talk about what happened.  I thought to myself that there was someone who loves me for me not focused on what happened to me."


James was shocked.  Was he that transparent that Alecia saw how he felt about her?    Quietly he asked "What do you mean?" to find out what she was thinking.  Could he hope, dare he push her for her feelings and what would her father say?
