I don't think it's too much, for several reasons.

Firstly, it's your character. If you feel she has an appreciation for the type of man that he seems to be, then her action are perfectly justified! Who can better say what your character would or would not do than you, after all? My impression is that she is a person of action. If she wasn't, she would never have left her family to begin with. Being a person of action, it makes far more sense for the character to actually do something instead of just sitting around and worrying to no one's benefit.

Secondly, the story needs some dramatic action now and then, to vary both the pace and the events. Events such as the sudden storm I dreamed up (we've been having on and off thunder showers the past two weeks up here and it stuck in my head), will not only allow Kijani and Victor to grow gradually closer in the immediate but will also allow for a sort of ripple effect that will continue throughout the story. Without giving too much away, Victor will be both upset and pleased that she came out to look for him...

I wouldn't say the characters are in love with one another or anything like that, not yet. Yes, Victor is going to notice her charms as a woman; a rough life such as the one he led, you really can't expect any less! What I think is that they are growing a respect for one another and eventually an understanding. And that there is what will turn this into a proper love story, I think.

Off to bed now! I should have a reply for you tomorrow!
