She had hoped that he hadn't gotten the wrong impression that he somehow was in trouble, but judging from the tone of his voice, it seemed to be the case. It somehow eased her mind, knowing that once she had a chance to explain herself, all those thoughts would go away. The anxiety was eating her up from the inside out. It almost made her feel ill.

She tilted her head to the side as she put a pair of comforting fingers to her temple and closed her eyes once she felt a migraine incoming.

As Tim listened in, Tanner's and Evangeline's exchanges didn't go by unnoticed by Shanks either, who could hear them well and clear, even if the Vertibird motors went off like a jackhammer inside his head.

He couldn't help but wonder whether or not Tanner was so blue-eyed that he couldn't see the blind woman's obvious infatuation, or if he simply ignored it. If it was the latter, he thought it kind of cruel to keep it to himself. He should have just come straight forward and told her that he either was or wasn't interested instead of keeping the girl on her toes.
