[ Such a scenario should put her off; a man claiming to be a doctor in all things—The Doctor—while boldly taking her hands and sharing suspicious tales. Yet, Vanessa would be drawn to the bizarre even without that deeper sense of familiarity. The yearning for acceptance has never left her, even if Yancai should serve all her needs.
To have it teased now by a charming man sharing poetics seems impossible to resist, and she glances to their joined hands beginning to dry in the sun. How strange, then, that this touch brings her a sense of belonging...but also loss? What emotion could strike her heart so? Something so sweet it stings. It could never be forgotten.
