Pamela smiled, glancing over at Cisco as she played with her hair. “Do you think a girl like me can’t handle herself?” she asked sweetly as she reached over, tugging at Cisco’s hand. “Maybe I’d need you to come along to protect me then.”
Cisco tucked a stray hair behind his ear before dropping his hand back at his side. “That’s totally not what I meant. I swear. You look totally capable.” He stumbled over his words like he always did. When she touched his hand, he felt a strange protectiveness for the woman come over him. “Of course I’ll come along!” He smiled, turning his hand so he could hold hers.
