he looked down at her (he was much taller,) and he said, 'one day, i promise to tell you the secrets of the universe.'
he smiled and winked.
in a moment of ponderance, she quickly realized that she wasn't certain when this 'one day' he spoke of would happen. or if it even would.
in keeping with the tradition of the hour, though, she decided she was not concerned with the here and now (please do realize that this sentiment of aloofness was rather out of character). after all, his was a promise of the future, a time and place over which she had no control.
for good measure, she winked back at him.
and so, despite her normal tendency to do the opposite,
(she would later admit that this next part of the story i am about to tell you was because she fell in love with him that very day)...
she decided to believe him."
