Bianca did her best to smile and nod at both the men, wondering how she'd found herself in this situation. She'd never been one to deal with more than one boy at once, and it wasn't as if she was trying to have something more with Heathcliff she'd...he was a good person, he was funny, he was smart, he had a career and Bianca felt like an adult when around him. Was that wrong to want? It was what had been missing with Bertram, she'd found herself so stressed about him being stuck in the same routine he'd been in since Amissa was born (and pretty much all of his life---) that---
Ugh. She didn't know. Bianca figured though, that his getting a job was a step in the right direction, and could only assume that his motives behind the moves were to patch things up with her. Which, of course, she wouldn't let him know was making her feel really good inside.
"That's great!" she let out, not sounding too excited, because she didn't want to just go falling back into Bertram's arm over one decision he should have made years ago, "What will you be doing there?"
And---she didn't want to be rude to Heathcliff. Oh, this was getting awkward. Bianca hoped she had some grace as they settled into a table, glad they'd chosen one with chairs and not a booth, because then she'd have to figure out who to sit next to and....yeah, Bianca had no idea what she was thinking, starting to talk to another bloke while she was pregnant with another's kid. It was innocent, but it was really complicated.
"Our offices are too rowdy to eat at," she added to Heath's conversation, taking in a deep breath and looking over at Bertram with interest. Where was Mira when she needed her?
