Chapter 23: Passing Time
Lecter was concerned. Clarice had passed out. Her pulse was strong. She was breathing okay, but what had caused her to pass out? Hannibal put his hand on Clarice's forehead - it was warm. Did she catch anything? Probably not. It was probably lack of sleep.
Lecter got out a handkerchief and went to the small, cramped washroom at the back of the plane. He wet the hanky in some cool water, and then returned to his seat beside Clarice.
Placing the damp hanky on Clarice's forehead, Lecter was relieved to see that she stirred a little from her peaceful slumber. She was indeed all right; Lecter could now relax and get some rest before the plane landed in Athens, Greece.
Clarice woke suddenly and fearfully with the fast descent in the altitude of the plane. She felt the comforting hand in hers tighten ever so gently. It was then that Clarice realized she had been resting peacefully on Hannibal's firm shoulder.
"Are you feeling any better?" came a rough, but soothing question from Hannibal as he removed the now dry hanky from Clarice's forehead. She smiled at his concern, and looked into his beautiful maroon eyes.
"I am feeling a lot better." Lecter smiled then too, as he brushed a gentle kiss over her forehead.
The plane landed, and everyone got off. Hannibal and Clarice collected their three bags and he carried them, along with Clarice, outside and set everything down, then gently set Clarice onto her good foot.
Clarice gasped at the sight in front of her,.
