I go with my sister. We change, I sleep, Duncan comes in, I leave. He need to talk to Cora. I understand, I truly do. She tries to stop me, but I say I'll see if Mr. Phelps needs anything. I don't. I walk around rather aimlessly until I find what I am subcontiously looking for. I didn't realize I was looking for him until I found him.
He doesn't notice me at first. I turn to go, and then...
"Miss Monro? What are you doing out here? It's not safe."
He notices me. Comes away from his friends. I answer him with a look: I didn't know what I was doing anywhere.
"Cora is talking to Duncan. I left."
Sweet creature that he is, he walked with me. I lead. We ended up behind the room Cora and I are sharing. In an un-Alice like move of boldness, I kiss the young Mohican. He kisses me back. Cora exits our room and heads to the surgery. Uncas breaks our kiss.
"We should not ..."
"I know. Thank you. Good night, sir."
We go our separate ways
