Heidi was very grateful for the fact that he was trying to make sure she wasn't overwhelmed. After the whole business of being married and then losing her husband in an extremely sudden and traumatic way, the slow pace of things was painfully necessary for her. She hadn't been upfront with Henry about her history because it wasn't something that she wanted to deal with right away, until she was sure that he could be someone she could trust for the long run, until she was ready to admit that the whole thing with Drystan had (unfortunately) happened.
She thought that the walk after their lunch was sweet, really, and the weather was nice enough that they ought to take advantage of it while it lasted. She smiled, nodding her head and glancing toward the vendor.
"But what kind of balloon?" She was personally partial to pink poodles, but she couldn't say no to a saucy purple elephant either. It was sweet that Henry was so good to his niece, making sure that she felt comfortable around him. A man who was good with kids couldn't really be a bad guy, could he?
No, of course not. Henry had proven himself to be nothing but kind and decent.
