Elizabeth
Trusting that the man knew what he was talking about, Elizabeth nodded her head and ran a soothing hand down her jacket to rid it of excess snow. As it fluttered to the ground, she turned to look at him, cracking a small smile of her own. "And I'd hate to be turned into ursur food."
His offer was met with a relieved expression as she moved to retrieve her bag that had fallen in the snow, her head lifting to meet his gaze. "Really? I would greatly appreciate that. I'd hate to run into more trouble today; there's only so much a woman's heart can take." She let out a warm laugh, straightening to put her hand against her chest where her pulse was finally starting to calm.
Once she was certain she had everything in order, she reached out a hand along with a brighter, relaxed smile. "I'm Elizabeth, by the way. Thank you again for showing up when you did." Adjust her bag over her shoulders, an idea came to mind. She rummaged inside for a moment as she spoke, "I don't have much to show for gratitude, but I packed some extra tea and scones if you want some?" Her hands reappeared with an extra thermos and a small container of blueberry scones, extending her arms to the man with an encouraging nod for him to take them.
