Chapter 21: Unexpected, I think so.

On a whim, Clarice grabbed Lecter's face, and for a moment, a look of horror was pasted on his face. Then Hannibal opened his mouth to ask Clarice what had come over her, as she was still gripping his head tightly. As he did, Clarice closed her mouth over his for a long, passionate kiss.

After about a minute or two, Clarice broke the fiery kiss while Lecter stood, stunned with a look of question on his face.

"Well, shall we," Clarice asked Lecter, with a smirk on her face.

"What, may I ask was that?" Lecter queried. He wasn't moving to pick up the three bags of luggage that he had dropped when Clarice had began to kiss him.

"That was this," Clarice said, and kissed Hannibal once again. Longer this time, stunning Lecter once again.

"Why.what did you do that for?" Lecter was confused. It was one of the few times in his life that he was truly bewildered.

"Well.you said.uh." Clarice started, slightly embarrassed.

"Okay," Hannibal said, as if understanding exactly what Clarice was going to say, "I understand."

Lecter picked up the three bags from the ground, and helped Clarice stand upright so that she could walk more independently. She slipped her arm around Lecter's waist, and the two of them made their way into the airport.

The airport inside was quiet. Hardly anybody was around. There were a few people here, and a few people there, but nobody really significant.

Lecter and Clarice's plane left in a few minutes. They had enough time to get their luggage checked, and board the plane. They didn't bother stopping at the washrooms. Clarice hadn't gained all of Lecter's trust back yet, and he wasn't willing to step into the ladies room right at this moment. Also, Clarice didn't want to go into the men's room. It would have to wait until they got onto the plane.

They boarded the plane, found their seats and sat down. The plane was actually quite full for this time in the morning.

The attendants voice came over the intercom, "Would everyone please take your seats, and strap yourselves in," she began, and then continued to give some more directions to the passengers. Lecter ignored them and went on with talking to Clarice. "You're pale. Are you okay?" he asked, concerned for her well-being.

"Yeah, I'm just."
