She heard the other woman round the car and stop beside her. “Would you like to take my arm? If we link elbows, you can hold your camera and take pictures as you feel like it.” Natalie hadn’t really been planning on taking pictures. She’d simply said that as an excuse. She hadn’t wanted to tell Mac her true motives in case her field trip didn’t pan out; no sense getting anyone’s hopes up. But now that Liz had made the offer, she supposed it made sense. It’d be nice not to have to rely on her cane for a while. To walk and still have use of both hands. “That would be…nice. Thank you.” “Here you go.” Liz guided Natalie’s arm through hers. “Anyplace in particular?” The other woman was so matter-of-fact, any awkwardness Natalie was feeling quickly dissipated.
