paradeinmyheart asked: “ She could hear the hesitation in his voice that quickly disappeared as he regained his composure. She still hadn't looked up from her feet for fear of what she would see; perfection. "I," she said with a whisper, "am doing absolutely wonderful." Why had he stumbled over his words? Did I do something wrong? Does he even know who I am? For some reason she couldn't shake the feeling that his pause had something to do with her. "Oh Howl," she said in sudden realization, "my name is Stacey." :D STORY ”
Aha! He hadn’t been properly introduced with this woman before; good thing too. Howl had several encounters with girls like this but they always ended quite badly.. ” Ahhh~ Stacey. It is good to hear you are doing so well-” He paused for a second, did he introduce himself? He didn’t recall doing so. “Oh, you know my name?” How is it that she knew his but he didn’t know hers?… Then again, he thought, many women knew my name.
