Saving Alice
Tell me, do you like adventure?
She leaned back into the chair, and took a deep breath. It was now that I saw that this girl was much older then she had appeared to be. Her movements and motions were too sophisticated for a 19 year old, and right now especially she seemed more feline than girl.
"I'm looking for a partner." Her voice was calm, but the words themselves left me rattled.
She looked at me as if she expected a response, but upon getting none she continued on.
"How old are you, Grace?" She asked me.
"23." I answered hesitantly. Where was this going?
A smirk formed at the corner of her lips. "Have you ever traveled before? Around the world?"
I shook my head.
Her smile widened. "Would you like to?
Something about the look in her eyes told me there was more to this question then she was letting on. Maybe it was her honey colored hair framing her face, maybe it was her alluring eyes.. whatever it was it pushed me to a decision I didn't expect.
"Yes."
"Good," she purred. "And tell me dear, Do you like adventure?"
