Dean looked intently into Colette's eyes. He felt a rush go through him as he saw her looking at him, seeing himself through her eyes. He had a fair amount of uncertainty in his life at that moment. There was no way of telling what the repercussions of their actions in Haiti would bring. Not only that, but he still wasn't sure what his episodes with Ginny would bring down on him from Pan Am.
In spite of all that, he was certain that he wanted Colette. The way she looked at him, the way she made him feel...it just shot through him.
Watching him intently, Colette spoke softly. "A penny for your thoughts, captain?"
"I think we're well beyond formalities here," Dean smiled.
"But of course...Dean. What's on your mind?"
"I was just thinking how I'd really like to continue this...perhaps with drinks?"
Smiling and exhaling, Colette held her hands at Dean's shoulders. "That sounds wonderful. I would enjoy that." She felt the urge to not take her hands off of him. He made her feel warm and safe, a feeling she had not known in some time. She had been in romances and the occasional fling from time to time, but there was never any long term stability.
In a way, she found a sense of stability with her job by creating a facade for herself. Having a seemingly endless array of different passengers from day to day kept her from needing to risk deeper attachment to any one person in particular. This game of keeping herself from being hurt worked for awhile, but with Dean she began to feel a sense of longing she had hidden for some time. When he looked at her, she felt he saw through her facade. That delighted and somewhat terrified her.
