He was surprised by the fact that she was there alone – she had also been alone he had met her at the bar, but she had mentioned something about being completely ‘uninterested’ in such things as flattery, which made it all the more understanding as to why she was there alone that night. Still, he thought that maybe she had come with a friend or someone from her family, so it still managed to be surprising that she was at such a social function by herself.
Her admission made him purse his lips thoughtfully, letting out a hum before he turned down to his drink, lifting it up so he could watch the liquid inside swirl inside the glass as he rotated it with his wrist.
“I’m afraid I can’t be of any help, in that department…” he lifted the glass to his lips, and took a swig of the liquor inside, placing what was left in the glass back down on the bar before turning to her again. “Personally, I’d love to give ya a’hundred reasons not to.” Again, there was a mischievous little twinkle in his eyes, wanting a good reason to not have to sit through the entire performance – she was definitely a ‘good reason’, in his eyes. There was something about her that made him need to know more about her – something dark, and mysterious.
