Gretchen hadn’t been in the dark for long enough that she needed to blink at the new burst of light but she still allowed Mr Prewett to guide her out of the passage as though she couldn’t see for herself. She ought to let go of his hand, it really was unnecessary but-oh, he was holding her other hand now.
The strange discombobulation she had felt before doubled inside her and she was suddenly quite sure she was blushing. Had she ever done such a girlish thing before? Possibly in the brief moment she thought she had walked in on a male student in the bath but certainly not when her insides were doing new and unusual things involving cartwheels and tight knots.
“I have certainly been diverted,” she said sincerely, smiling minutely at her own cleverness. Perhaps she ought to explain the joke? Perhaps she ought to leave him here before things took a turn?
Had his eyes been that blue before?
