head towards Jacinda’s office from his urge to be punctual. He was afraid that he would come off as overzealous but also felt like Jacinda would understand him. As he got close to the office he couldn’t help but feel like he was being watched again and looked around. He didn’t see anything out of the ordinary and just continued along the way. When he showed up at Jacinda’s office she was just closing up for the night.
     
                  “Oh, so that’s why you had that huge smile on your face earlier.” Stacy said with a smile before she looked over at Jacinda quickly. “You two have fun.”
     
                  Henson chuckled inside, remembering how Jacinda calmed him down in the cabin. He actually felt his lower abs tighten and sighed but at the same time he kept a smile on his face. It wasn’t from thinking about the cabin but more just thinking about having a date with Jacinda. Sex was nice but he needed a companion more than just a sex object. He wanted someone to cuddle with at night, to hold when he needed to be held, and to care for. he wondered if Jacinda felt the same way.
     
                  “I knew you’d show up at eight o’clock on the dot.” Jacinda said with a smile as they headed down the road. “I even planned for us to be heading out for the diner already so I’m glad you kept to your normal punctual ways.”
     
                  Damn, I knew she’d understood me , Henson thought as they walked down the street before he spoke out loud, “Yeah, I honestly wasn’t sure if I should or not. I was kinda worried I’d come off as overzealous.”
     
                  “Thanks for being honest, but don’t worry about that. I know how punctual you are, that’s actually why I knew something had happened to you the other day.” Jacinda said, grabbing Henson’s hand as they walked down the road.
     
                  They walked in silence holding hands and just enjoyed the time together. It was strange to Henson, feeling cared about. It was such an alien feeling to him after feeling like just a tool to the military for so long. He feared that she would just drop him like nothing and he would feel stupid for believing he meant anything to her. Still he did wonder why he meant anything to her at all. She had to see plenty of patients a day, probably guys more good looking than he was but he didn’t focus on that and just enjoyed holding her hand. Her skin was softer than he remembered but he hadn’t really gotten that long to touch her skin at the cabin and his nerves were on edge leaving his senses of touch heightened; it would have been better then. He didn’t care and as they got to the diner Henson took his opportunity to open the door for Jacinda.
     
                  “Oh? Nice to see that chivalry isn’t dead.” Jacinda said with a smile.
     
                  “Chivalry isn’t dead, just most people don’t know there’s a word for just being nice.” Henson said. “Most people nowadays are where I was before I met you; stuck in a pit of anger and too scared to open back up.”
     
                  “Aww.” Jacinda said as a waiter led them to their table. “You mean that?”
     
                  “Yeah, definitely. If I hadn’t met you I would be in a very dark place right now. It’s called a prison cell.” Henson said with a chuckle but he knew how serious he was and how close to losing his marbles he had been before his first session with Jacinda, “You got me to realize that I did have a problem, if it was just my anger. That’s actually what made me stay calm at the bar the other night when Darren and his buddy jumped me.”
     
                  “I’ll be right back. I went and grabbed a dress from home during a break earlier. I’m gonna go change in the bathroom.” Jacinda said, carrying her purse off with her
