Kalista lifted her brows to display surprise when he suddenly took her by the hand, though his grin was contagious and she found it impossible to resist following him. "Where are we going?" She asked, her pace quickening to keep up with him. It hadn't exactly been a lie, telling him she had bad experiences with people suddenly just turning up, but for some reason she didn't feel like she was in any danger with him. She felt no need to pull her hand away and demand to know where they were headed, as she might have with other people. With him, she was merely curious, and the aspect of not knowing where she was heading was a little exciting.
When he turned around and introduced himself, there was some hesitation before she replied with a name of her own. Louis had absolutely no idea who she was - he hadn't even noticed the large diamond that was displayed on her left hand, seeing how he was guiding her with her right. He didn't know anything about her past, or her family, and she wanted it to stay like that. If he knew who she was, that feeling of excitement would quickly turn into panic, since she couldn't be sure how he would react to the news that she was a married woman; more specifically, she couldn't handle the idea of Augustus ever finding out about anything.
Just because she didn't think he was about to lead her into danger, that didn't mean she trusted him. Her trust was something you had to earn, and it wasn't an easy feat. Fearing that him knowing her true identity would ruin all the butterflies she was currently feeling in her stomach, she spoke the first name that came to mind - her mother's.
"I'm Aimee." She stated, offering a smile to make it more convincing. When he turned back around, she worked on getting her wedding band and engagement ring off, carefully tucking them into the center of her bra in order to conceal them.
She continued to follow him until they got to their destination, standing beside him as she took in their surroundings. She didn't say anything for a while, appreciating the silence, the color of the ocean, and the way the breeze felt in her hair. Her hand was still attached to his when she finally spoke.
"This place... It's beautiful."
