He asked if she was so inclined, 

hoping she would understand the meaning

 

She tilted her head to one side,  half smile with eyes blinking

from sunlight or while pondering a response

 

Oh, it's possible,  she said demurely 

pulling hair that was not in her face, behind her ears 

 

Then reaching out to touch his sleeve,  a small tug

as if to say-  it's your move 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


I said, You are a lady

"Perhaps," she said, "I may be"
