By now Krista knew Cian well. Little movements, that told her he was annoyed, or happy, or angry, or a hundred other moods. It was not that he was really predictable or boring; it was simply one of side effects of what she had been through. For everything he did to take care of her, she strived to be whatever he needed. It just happen most of her solutions to his moods was fucking or cuddling.
Zoning in and out of the conversation with the torture victim man, she took relevant notes. Spoken with a slight accent and the electronic device made some words harder to distinguish. The slow speaking helped her go over the words in her mind until she understood them. While to her, this was just another man, and the man they were here to help was just another man, she was aware that to Cian this man held the key to saving the man that was his family. Being respectful of that she stayed fairly well grounded being as much help as possible.
The dinner helped her completely forget the last few hours of gruesome conversation. Shopping was an interesting experience. She had never really been on a shopping spree before. He had taken her shopping several times but it was nothing like this. Back in the states she was always worried about being forced back to the hospital. With or without the good doctor there she had little hope of release. Of course Cian had promised that would never happen, she could not bring herself to really believe that. Now here, in this foreign city it felt good not to hide.
The highlight of shopping had to be the dresses. In her mind she could not fathom a reason for buying such a gown but the look on Cian’s face said she could not put it back. The only question after finding the dress, was shoes to match. At the moment she had nothing that would do the dress justice. Krista had no idea how she was going to learn to walk in the heels but they were the only thing that did the dress justice.
Krista was more than happy to trade an armful of bags for arms full of Cian. And she was very sure to show her appreciation of the clothes. It was a very long night but she enjoyed every minute of it from the time she hit the bed until she passed out hours later. It was a good nights sleep, no nightmares, no restless waking. Sleeping in until she felt Cian shift in the bed.
