I don't mean that negatively. She was clearly moved, which confirmed her sweetness. As you suggest, part of it may have been her ignorance that anybody could do that to another human being--and then have that history presented so graphically and artfully. She may also have had limited knowledge of our own nation's history with regards to man's inhumanity to man.

While she may have been taken aback by your reaction, you were on a date, not a diplomatic mission. You were both being yourselves and, in your short story, I sensed kindness from the both of you.
