In her mind

Eric was amazed at the length of the way his hostage agreed to walk just to get out of 'her room'. He wondered, not for the first time, what the hell was he thinking. He knew this was the last thing he should do, invite her into his space. She had already found her way too far into his mind. The longer he was with her, the harder it became for him to trust himself.
