[There's a faint smile at that and he nods, letting out a long breath.]

[She reaches up to unpin the kerchief from her hair, pausing momentarily.] You don't mind, do you?

[It doesn't matter, because she doesn't wait; long red hair spills down her back, and she seemed relieved for letting it flow. Having it pinned up for hours can be uncomfortable.]

[His smile comes a little easier this time, though it's still small and shy.]
