As Raf lifted his hand, Katie drew her head away a little, but not far enough. It was a half-hearted withdrawal at best and Raf didn't hesistate in response to her movement. it was as if he knew that she wasnt going to be offended or upset by the touch; quite the reverse - he knew she wanted it despite the movement. His fingers ran lightly over her cheek and she immediately blushed. She stared up at him, wide eyed, almost mesmerized by him. The sound of his voice. His presence. Beyond the good looks and the charm, Katie was sure that she didn't really like the man - probably unfair as she didn't really know him. But her instinct was telling her that he wasn't what he appeared. But for some reason that charm and presence and those looks overwhelmed her. She hadn't felt like this since Ja.... no! She didn't want to go there. She swallowed hard as he took her hand from her cheek and lifted her hand to his lips. His eyes didn't leave her. They held her - frozen, entranced.
He was almost working away before she snapped out of things. She blushed again and quickly looked up and down the street to see whether anyone had spotted her embarassing performance. No-one seemed to have. She quickly turned and then headed back to the jailhouse.
Twenty minutes later, Colorado came in. He had enjoyed a lie in and a late breakfast and was coming in to look after the place whilst Katie took a quick ride out to the mine to make sure everything was ok. She wasn't expecting anything to be wrong, but she liked taking a trip out there once a week just to say hello and keep herself informed. By mid day, she was on her way back, riding alone and thinking about dinner and dancing with Raf.
