River smiled and placed a few dollars of his own down, standing and leading her towards the door. He held it open for her as they got there, placed his raptors back on and started leading her down the road. Of course he couldn't take her all the way to his rendezvous, but it couldn't hurt to try and do his good deed for the night.
"Well Lisa, talk..."

Lisa watched her feet as she walked with him... she chewed her lip a moment... You're right. I am sad. And i haven't been eating that much lately. I just. I'm going through a really tough divorce right now. she said softly. She glanced over at him, wondering why she was talking to him, he didn't really want to know what her troubles were. No one really cared what everyone else was going through... it's just how peopel are.

River bit his lip. He looked down at her, and smiled sadly. He took her hand softly and squeezed. "Well, sometimes life happens and people aren't as suited as they though." He shrugged and swung her hand a bit before letting go. River sighed, figuring that she didn't appreciate the physical touch. "You can feel free to talk about it, I won't even offer an opinion unless you want one."

Lisa smiled softly at him.. Well... It's just... I guess i shouldn't be upset about it. I saw it coming. I'm the one that kick Ryan out. It's just. I guess i still love him, and i wish we could work things out. But i take him back i know it's just going to happen again. she said looking back to the sidewalk again. she absently hung onto her purse straps with both hands, her purse hanging on her left shoulder between her and River

He sighed. "Well, what happened?" He bit his lip and fiddled with the phone in his pocket, wondering if he should call in or not. He was sure Otto would understand if he said he needed a few hours. River sighed. He wouldn't call in unless this girl was willing to talk, if she really needed a friend. "I can offer advice and comfort better if I know what happened."

Lisa smiked and chewed her lip.. why was this guy wanting to know? She forced teh thoughts away.. forced herself to accept that someone might actually want to hear it. She needed someone to talk to. He uh... cheated on me a couple years ago. I forgave him. We worked things out. Then he cheated again...it was like the same episode repeating itself over and over. I just. I couldn't take it anymore. So i kicked him out... now he's dragging out the divorce. Begging me to take him back. And when tell him no.. he starts making threats.

River stopped. He turned to face her slowly and lowered his raptors, looking at her with his clear blue eyes turned deadly. "He threatens you?" He growled softly. "No man should threaten a woman. And you should not feel bad about any of this." He took her hands, not caring at this moment whether she wanted to be touched or not. "Only a dirty, low-life sleazeball would cheat on a beautiful woman like you." He squeezed her hands tightly. "You have intelligence in your eyes, a beautiful face and figure, and a strong soul. I can feel the strength that's afraid to come out."
Lisa worked with Grace so he knew she must be used to hearing things about psychic abilities, Selena was always around Grace. "If you could just tap into your inner strength, the part of you that wants to be strong and keep pushing him away, then you could survive without feeling so bad about him cheating on you, and him threatening you. Cher it is not good to feel so bad about his faults."
River felt a bit bad about exploding on her about this but he hated to hear of a woman being abused in any way. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, still holding her hands but now to steady himself. He was hoping she understood.

Lisa nit her lip as she listened to him... and when he was finished she lowered her eyes to the ground brtween them.. to teh site of him holding her hands... it was a strange feeling.. but oddly comforting to hear someone rnating at her like this... maybe he was right? wait... but... Lisa sighed saldy.. I don't know... I just... she slowly looked up to him. I don't know what i'm going to do without him. I'm so used to having him to go home to everynight. she admitted

River shook his head. "She you saying stuff like that is you crushing the strength that wants to say, 'I do not deserve to be treated like a dog'." He huffed and squeezed her hand again, calming his voice. "You don't deserve it and if you want to have someone to come home to...if that's the only reason to take him back and keep getting hurt...go stay with someone, invite someone over...anything but bring back an abusive asshole, pardon, into your life." He shook his head. "No woman needs to have that kind of pain and stress on a day to day basis.

Lisa lowered her gaze once more, almost feeling like she could cry all over again. God! how she loved Ryan. But River was right... she didn't deserve to be treated teh way Ryan had been treating her. She swallowled a bit hard... not sure what to say...

River tilted her face back. "I'm sorry." He bit his lip and reached up with his other hand, taking the raptors from his face. "I didn't mean to make you cry." He turned his face away from her a bit. "I get carried away sometimes when it comes to things like women and abuse and things like that." He sighed heavily and turned his head back to her. "Sorry?"

Lisa cleared her throat and nodded... It's okay... really. she said smiling a little and then nodding her head a bit, she looked up at him as she spoke then back down as she moved her head.. No.. you know you're right... i know your'e right. I just have to keep remiding myself of that. she said sounding more liek she was trying to convince herself than him.

River let go of both her hands and her face. "Well, if you'd like to go do something, unwind ya know," He winked, "or make your ex jealous, then I can call in." He smiled broadly. "I wouldn't mind at all." He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. "Say the word Lisa and we can go get to know each other better."

River laughed a warm, friendly laugh. "Take it however you want sweetheart." He looked her up and down, eyes sparkling in a kidding way. "The night is young and it belongs to you." He leaned forward, pursing his lips. "Soooooooo..?"
