Holland let his hand be captured without resistance, linking his fingers with his wife’s. He then went to tugging gently at his lip ring with the other hand. He couldn’t stop fidgeting. Hazel eyes bounced between his wife, Owen’s face, and Sairus’ with a worried frown. Holland hadn’t seen her so reactionary in a while. Owen could have that effect on people, he very well knew. Holland shook his head to contradict Sairus' telling, scooting forward on his seat in his anxious agitation.
“No, isn’t true, at all. Not even close.” He fired back at Sai, and then leaned back against the seat again falling silent as he let his wife explain the real story. When her eyes turned glassy, Holland squeezed her rigid hand sympathetically and took it away. He slipped his arm around her bringing his wife into whatever protective custody his arm could offer.
“I did my best for you, Owen. I had my own wife and daughter to think about. I couldn’t afford to go toe to toe with the Covenant. They steamrolled her - and us - and so did Kama - and we did - we did what we could for her.” Holland interjected to give Aphrodite the chance to collect herself lest she start sobbing. He’d seen her cry one too many times for the Harts.
Owen spread his hands defensively, his eyes couldn’t hold ‘Dite’s eyes when she teared up, so he focused on Holland's heated gaze instead. Another side to the story of his family’s implosion. It wasn’t getting any easier to hear the more it was repeated to him.“Okay. Okay.” He said quietly. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said that. I’m - you know - a bit of a train wreck without her. What can I say?” His signaled with his thumb and forefinger just barely apart to demonstrate the 'bit' of train wreck that he was. Only bit of a train wreck? Owen could be such a liar.
“You might not be an Elliot fan. But I’ll toast the dumb fuck, when we get some service.” Owen said as the waiter approached. “Elliot, my generous benefactor, re-gifting the world with my indomitable presence.” He said this with his usual dramatic flourish then turned his gaze to the wait staff hovering by the table.
Owen ordered two shots of whiskey and a beer. Holland a vodka tonic.
As the server left to fill the orders, Owen turned his gaze back to Aphrodite, “So Sairus here,” he said as he playfully grabbed the other blonde's thigh under the table - apparently roadtripping had done wonders for their relationship - “tells me you’ve been keeping tabs on my wife. So let’s hear what you know missy.”
