Curses have a habit of causing regrets.

From:

Hmmmm.

Not all of them.

From:

True. Not all of them.

From:

When are you free tonight, love?

From:

Two hours, I think. Maybe sooner since we're slow.

[eases back against the wall, keeping a deceptively lazy eye turned to the room]

From:

[More interested in watching her. Smiles.]

Oh, good. I thought you might be closing.

From:

[catches his eye and smiles back.]

Nah. Not tonight. I've got an easy schedule this week.

From:

[God, she's lovely.]

Mmm. I think Niko's figured out that it's useless to schedule either of us to close anymore.

From:

Hey, we can behave while working. He knows that.

[Tries her best to keep from blushing at the look]

From:

[Chuckles] Mmm, perhaps. But if we're closing together, we accomplish nothing, and if it's just one of us we rush through to get home.

From:

[Shoots him a smirk and shakes her head]

I always rush to get home. My bed it there and I happen to like my bed.

From:

Hmph. Of course.

[Can't manage a decent pout. Smiles instead.]

I rush home because you're there, just for the record.

From:

[Yeah, there's a blush this time.]

From:

[Leans in, kissing her cheek]

I'll see you later, love?

From:

If you like.

From:

[Raises an eyebrow at the cool response.]

As it happens, I would like. [Cups her cheek gently.] What would you like?

From:

[shifts to briefly kiss his palm]

So would I. I just wonder if you should spend the night at you own place sometimes.

From:

[Smiles, stroking back her hair gently.]

You could spend it there with me.

From:

I wouldn't want to intrude, what with Vincent and all.

From:

Vincent spends most nights out, anyway.

[Strokes her hair gently.] But if you're more comfortable, then we'll go to your place.

From:

That's not necessary. We can stay at your place. [smiles and glances off to one side as a voice calls to her.]

From:

[Smiles, pressing a quick kiss to her cheek.]

Then I'll see you when it's time to go.

From:

[Turns just in time to catch the end of the kiss on her lips]

I'll need to run to my place first, so can I meet you there?

From:

Of course. [Presses their foreheads together gently, then pulls back to finish up his work.]

From:

You don't have to apologize, Reeve.

From:

So I've heard.

From:

It is the truth.

From:

Thank you.

From:

Of course, Reeve.

From:

How are you today, Marron?

From:

I am well. And you?

From:

Well enough.

From:

I'm glad. You seemed troubled by the curse yesterday and I admit that I worried.

From:

That's very kind of you. I just dislike the kind of emotional manipulation this City excels at.

From:

It is very troubling.

From:

I agree. I despise this place, some days.

From:

As do I.

From:

I think we're both in the majority.

From:

I believe that as well.

From:

Indeed.

Well, at least we've earned a few days of quiet.

From:

Even a few days is a welcome break.

From:

Indeed.

From:

We can at least attempt to be prepared for the next one.

From:

Ah, but who knows what it will be?

From:

That is why we can only try.

And hope that the ones we care about are not hit.

From:

I agree wholeheartedly.

From:

Sometimes, that is all we can do.
