Grayson frowned, because she had a point and he totally hated that she was right. He hated when anyone was right, other than himself. He watched the smoke ring trail along as an excuse not to look directly at her. She moved closer, and normally he would have taken a step back to retain the distance he always did between himself and another person, but with her it seemed like a challenge so he stood his ground instead. Which turned out to be fine because it meant he could no longer see those fucking kitten faces.
"I should book you just on principle," he mutters, fingers moving to adjust his tie. "I'm not buying you another lighter," he insists. He caught himself wondering why he was even humoring her with conversation. "Just go snag one off another corpse that's not this one, you little grave robber."
Only when she talked, or breathed, or existed for that matter.
Behind him was profoundly not the direction he had been hoping she'd meander to. He turned to face her again with the most exasperated of sighs. "Are you even old enough to get into a club? I'm pretty sure you're sixteen and out way past curfew." He looked over her easily, given her height (even in those ridiculously attractive gaudy heels), and waved at the two men climbing out of the van to gather up the body. He was going to have to file an entirely new report, because she was right, again, about all the DNA they'd likely left behind. The hand that wasn't toying with the lighter pushed his glasses away from his nose to pinch the bridge of it as he closed his eyes.
"I'm not going to the station."
Why did he say that?
"And it wasn't a fucking mountain lion."
He should really just endeavor to stop talking altogether. Stop looking at the way her mouth pursed around her cigarette.
"What's your name?" he asked suddenly. He was not interested in this woman, he told himself. The questions was strictly for his report.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
