"Lovely view from here,"
She had scooted over to the far end of the bench taking her belongings with her, no matter there were always other things Michael could steal away from her. With one swift motion he made his way towards the same end of the bench leaving a slight gap in between them. Michael looked upon her his gaze never moving "Oh aye, the most beautiful view. For now it is calm and subtle bringing peace of mind with it's gentle stir but in the blink of an eye it is wild, untamed and only then do you realize the beauty of its duality."

Gabriella gaped at him. She'd never come across anyone with the audacity to be so bold. To straight up ignore the rules of personal space in relation to how well you knew a person. It was old fashioned and barbaric which is precisely what made it so thrilling. And dear Lord, the way he was looking at her made it impossible to look away.
"Oh aye, the most beautiful view. For now it is calm and subtle bringing peace of mind with it's gentle stir but in the blink of an eye it is wild, untamed and only then do you realize the beauty of its duality."
"Wow," she said in a breathless daze. She'd never heard a more beautiful description of the ocean. Or at least not that she could recall in her foggy-brained state.
She was pulled back to reality by the sound of her purse hitting the ground. Somehow, she'd gone from clutching it like a security blanket to completely losing her grip on it. She leaned over to grab it, his words replaying in her head. Calm and subtle. Wild and untamed. Funny how those particular words struck her in such a personal way. Suddenly, she had the odd notion he wasn't talking about the ocean.
She sat back up and pushed her glasses back into place, keeping her eyes on the water ahead. "You weren't, by any chance, at The Rabbit Hole last night, were you?" she asked, trying her best to sound as if she were only making casual conversation.

Michael's gaze upon her softened once he saw how she hung on to his every word, she had a straight laced, hard up, no nonsense Liberian look about her, she was attractive in that timid, quiet, restrained and unassured of her own beauty kind of way.
"You weren't, by any chance, at The Rabbit Hole last night, were you?"
"Alas I was not for you see I was upon the deck of my houseboat stargazing." Being passed out drunk just didn't have the same ring to it. "Stars another thing of beauty, as they go about there job they shine brightly and confidently but whence they black out and darken they become a destructive force of ferocious beauty and intrigue."

She was immensely relieved he hadn't been at The Rabbit Hole. That meant he wasn't trying to pick up on Elle. She was relieved that Elle's foray last evening had minimal damage control. Well, so far at least. It was still early in the day.
But was he trying to pick up on her or was he simply an artist at heart with an artist's passionate way with words? She tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear, suddenly self conscious about her purposefully frumpy look. She couldn't remember the last time a man had gotten her all flustered. Perhaps because she never stuck around long enough to allow it to happen. She should make an excuse and leave but she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Instead, she tried to gain control of herself with small talk. "You have a beautiful way with words. I do miss stargazing out on the water, away from the lights of the town. It's been awhile since I've had the opportunity. My father has a boat but he's spending his retirement sailing the world with his wife," she explained.

"You have a beautiful way with words. I do miss stargazing out on the water, away from the lights of the town. It's been awhile since I've had the opportunity. My father has a boat but he's spending his retirement sailing the world with his wife,"
As she finished talking Michael stood up and took a few paces forward standing next to a pillar that jolted all the way down to the sea bed he leaned against it his arm resting against the cold spitting wood. The view before him saw a vast stretch of blue green water causing the boats resting upon it's surface to bob up and down. "Now that is the life love." Micheal turned so his back was now against the pillar and his gaze upon shy beauty on the bench "Forever sailing the sea." His arm stretched out in an effort to grab all that lay before "The freedom to go where ever the wind may take you." Michael's eyeline revert back (again for the upteenth time) to the woman as he took a couple of paces back toward her. "No matter how little is left in the world love, there is still somethings to be discovered." as he said that his hand began in an outward gesture before outlining the curves of her body.

"That would be amazing," she said dreamily as she imagined how her life could be. She belatedly registered his gesture and double meaning. "Forever sailing the sea," she quickly clarified. She felt as if she was making an ass of herself, due to the fact she was socially awkward thanks to an unsocial life. The frosty air combined with the elevated temperature of her embarrassment brought a slight fog to her glasses.
She fished out a cloth from her purse and pulled off her glasses, speaking as she went through the automatic motions of cleaning the lenses. "It'd be wonderful. Always a different port in a different city or country. The freedom to be yourself. Do what you want to do. Be wild and crazy and spontaneous when the mood strikes. To just let your hair down, in a manner of speaking, and not have to worry about the repercussions or what people will think or say the next day because the next day, you'll be somewhere else."

To just let your hair down, in a manner of speaking, and not have to worry about the repercussions or what people will think or say the next day because the next day, you'll be somewhere else."
Michael watched as she went through the motions of cleaning her glasses, a seemingly automatic process, before he swaggered closer to her. With his back slightly arched he lifted his right hand and haphazardly pointed at her heart with seemingly every finger that hand possessed. "And is that what lies beneath you succulent breasts love?" A couple of swaggered steps which if one were on-looking could almost appear as a float and Michael was in close and his hands were placed atop of hers. He gazed into her eyes his glare promising all the things that a mother would warn their daughters about, one that betrothed careless heartache after a good night. "The beats of a wild, crazy and spontaneous heart?"

Wow, he is really damned good at this, she thought breathlessly, her glasses forgotten as his hands covered hers and she was caught in his gaze.
Gabriella knew exactly what kind of man she was dealing with. He made it quite clear with his forward talk and in the way he looked at her. Hell, it was oozing out of his every pore in the way he moved and gestured. A good time. Purely physical. No strings attached. No 'call you tomorrow's. No drama. Low key, no drama is exactly the way she'd been living her life which left her with very limited options and it wasn't often that an appealing option came her way.
"I'm seriously considering being wild, crazy, and spontaneous back at your place or mine," she said, gazing right back at him. People mistook her for shy when she was simply avoiding emotional connections and her steady gaze made it clear that she didn't want more than what he was offering.

"I'm seriously considering being wild, crazy, and spontaneous back at your place or mine,"
Michael would have liked to say she completely and utterly brought everything he was selling but something told him she wasn't the shy, naive librarian her general aesthetics made her out to be. Sure she would more than likely be singing a different tune afterwards as his one gift to all woman seemed to be the gift of sour memories, or maybe that was because he had to promise most of them the world, a world which he never intended to deliver. But this, this was something different, something rawer there was something about her he could really sink his teeth into metaphorically and physically which he fully intended to deliver. Michael slinked to her side and slide his hand around her waist as Michael was never one to waste an opportune moment used his free out to gesture out in front of them show a path. "Lead the way love."

Gabriella smiled up at him as she placed her arm around his waist in return. I can't believe I'm doing this, she thought to herself as she lead the way. Elle would be proud, she thought wryly.
***Gabriella and Michael leave for Gabriella's house***

The clock, which has been stuck at 8:15 for as long as anyone can remember, began to move once again promptly at 8:15 p.m.
Several hours pass. It is now the morning after the clock has started.
A few may have noticed the clock moving last night and those close enough may have realized when it chimed the 9 p.m. hour. Others may have learned by word of mouth or not until they next arrived in town.

Gabriella had been up early and walking from business to business, making use of public announcement boards or clearing with the owner the posting of the fliers she'd printed when she'd gotten home late last night. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Will's Itty Bitty Wonderworld has suffered minor fire damage. William Robinson has been a kind and giving member of the community. Looking for volunteers who would like to show the same kind and giving spirit by helping with repairs and refurbishment so that he has a home and store to return to when released from hospital.
Costs are covered. Supplies and paints have been purchased. Additional tools and paint supplies would be helpful but it is your dedicated time and work that would be most appreciated.
Work to begin noon Friday and continue at all hours throughout the weekend until completed. Volunteers are welcome to report for whatever times are convenient.
Thank you.
