Her gaze trails from his eyes to his chin and back again, looking for ... she doesn't know what. She smiles tightly and pulls away from him, skipping every other button on her blouse for the sake of speed.
She steps out into the hall once she's back in order, walking with purpose even as her eyes are darting around for random passersby. There's someone at the base of the staircase, but they shouldn't be able to see her as long as she follows the wall.
Her fingers graze the horsehair plaster, burning the sensation into her skin.
She unlocks his door and slips in, takes a calming breath, and moves to light the oil lamp as she had done last night.
