[Dan.Linehan]

Oh, Michelle was full of plans that day, on the fast track, with no time, she told me, for distractions - especially men. But she knew how to laugh, brightly and easily, and I noticed that she didn't seem in too much of a hurry to get back to the office. And there was something else, a glimmer that danced across her round, dark eyes whenever I looked at her, the slightest hint of uncertainty, as if, deep inside, she knew how fragile things really were, and that if she ever let go, even for a moment, all her plans might quickly unravel. That touched me somehow, that trace of vulnerability. I wanted to know that part of her.
