Snippet #1525756

Nick slowly handed the eratic puppy back to Kaylee. "So, umm." Nick started to stutter, as he usually did in situations with girls. Kaylee, Kaylee... Why does that sound so familiar? The thought bounced around in his head. "Oh! Kaylee York, right? Your room is right next to mine. Just across the hall, actually." Nick still smiled. He held his hand, palm up, down the hall behind him. "This way." Although he didn't seem like it at the time, he was paying attention to the names of the people who's rooms were near his.
Nick slowly walked down the hall, looking back frequently to check she didn't get lost. He always did that when he was leading someone somewhere. He was paranoid that they would disappear suddenly and that he'd have to go find them. He didn't know why he did it now, other than habit, when the halls of the castle were completely empty, save for the boy and girl with the dog.
