But he's not getting out of that position, either, and she watches with some bemusement as he takes it upon himself to get her out of her shoes. And her breathing shallows and almost halts for a second when she realizes the special attention he's paying to her scars.

Yeah, sometimes people stare when she's out and about, but she has one hell of a story to tell if they ask. But no one's ever paid attention to them like this, in this intimate of a setting, and she's - she doesn't know how to feel.]
