She told him her name, he told his.
"I'm Harry."
"I know."
His voice was the sound of an angel. Her fears crept into her mind when he started to converse casually and all she could do was listen with admiration; she didn't know what to talk about.
He smiled and encouraged her to talk about anything she pleased.
