Well this was...something she should have expected, she tells herself, as the feeling of but surprise, yet something not entirely unwelcome. A million thoughts run into her head, but surprisingly, she pushes them away with relative ease. Maybe it was the situation, and how they both got out of it, seeing all the images of him and how much he care for her, their declaration, or was it...

Maybe it was that simple, charming smile of his. She could figure that out later, possibly, if she wanted too. Victoria had a feeling she didn't really need to find out, and that was also strange in itself. Maybe she was changing, and how this was going to be something entirely different from how it would end. Should she consider this a second chance, even if she hadn't lived the first? If she could..

Right! Mayhaps the lady doth think too much. She doesn't really protest as the gentle smoothing leads to something else entirely. IN fact, her first thought seems to be how sweet it all is.

Victoria doesn't pull back. At least not yet.
