By the time they left the cafe, Roanne felt cheery almost. She'd told a story that kept her skirts clean, and the coffee, the warmth of the place, Michelle's trust and faith, and the tick-tick of time--all these helped smooth out the tremors.
Roanne, you could say, had survived an assault that threatened to spring all the demons. As she and Michelle walked down toward the second tier shops though, sharp eyes might have noticed the steeliness now in the set of her jaw, the hard way she looked straight ahead, a certain coiled tension about her.
She'd managed to shove those demons back in their cells. But the effort brought with it this realization: she had to stay on alert.

You really dig deep into your characters, show so much human nuance. I'm amazed by, "...sharp eyes might have noticed the steeliness now in the set of her jaw, the hard way she looked straight ahead, a certain coiled tension about her."This tells me that after about five minutes with anyone, you could write a damn fine and very revealing Six about them... That intense a power of observation is almost frightening (if you're the one being observed...ha). Keep 'em comin' Sir Crisman.
