She shrank away from him and felt the first heat of tears sliding down her cheeks. "I have to go. I never should have come." She reached the edge of the seat and stood, "Thank you Steve, for being my knight in shining armor." Even as she turned away, Janet heard the crunch of plastic as he stood. Two steps were all she managed before his hands grasped her shoulders turning her around. She couldn't look at him. Hot scalding tears spilled across her cheeks.
