"When I saw you..." Reilly began slowly. "It was like...something that hasn't happened to me since my last girlfriend...I mean, I liked you as soon as I saw you."

Lacey noticed Reilly's quietness and frowned. "Is something on your mind?"

"Well..." Reilly said. "Her name was Voilet. She was the one, I could tell. I loved her alot an' I was thinkin' about proposing to her. I bought the ring and everything...Nothing could come between us, we were perfectly happy. Then one night...Spades and Aces came running into the lodging house, telling me that there was a bad fight going on between a couple of her friends. Turns out it was a knife fight and she got cut up real bad tryin' tah break it up....she died in my arms that night. I felt so helpless, like there was something I could've....should've done, but she wouldn't have lasted long enough for me to get a doctor. I basically went into a huge depression and shut down inside. Spot finally made me get a grip and talked me out of it. My life pretty much went back to normal once I was able to get over it, but I haven't loved another girl since then....then I saw you today." He smiled a bit at the end.

Lacey had tears in her eyes as Reilly finished his story. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!"

Reilly saw that he had made her cry. He got up from his seat across the table from her and quickly moved to the seat beside her, putting his arm around her shoulders. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean ta do dat." He took her face in his hands and gently brushed away the tears with his fingertips.

Lacey blushed ever so red and smiled up at him. "It's not your fault. It's just that I'm a softy sometimes." She laughed softly.

A couple of seconds later, the waiter brought their food. Reilly withdrew from the hug and moved back across the table to his old seat so they could have room to eat.

Lacey was content from the hug and ate her salad cheerfully.
