He bought her a rose on their meandering walk, and she looked down at it, soft pink petals tipped with lavender bowing gracefully over her hand. He'd stripped the thorns from it before he handed it to her-- not ostentatiously as some men might, but automatically, a simple caring gesture from a simple caring man.
His hand felt so comfortable in hers, warm, slightly calloused, big, safe. She could go on walking around the city forever, as long as she had this hand to hold.
