Maeve was still grinning from ear to ear as she sipped her wine. All but ignoring her brother's exasperated expression. She knew she was poking the bear....or wolf, and for all of his pushback she was leaving little nuggets of ideas in the back of his mind.
Planting the seeds, as it were.
"I'm your older sister," she loved to point out. "Being the bad influence on you is my job. Imagine if Victoria was here, too."
He reached for the card and she would have done a better job of keeping it from him if it wouldn't have caused a scene in the hotel restaurant. Maeve retreated slightly, card in hand, but her brother's reach was long and that single cocked brow was enough to know she had struck a nerve. She let him have it, laughing as it disappeared into his jacket.
Not before she'd committed the phone number to memory long enough to put it in her contacts, under the guise of returning a text message. Not that she was going to do anything with it. There was just something fun about having the phone number of her brother's convention crush.
Maeve waved off his attempt to change the subject with her hand. "You're too late with that comeback. I asked the suit maker out last week and he turned me down. He made it very clear that I didn't want to go out with him." She shrugged, finishing her wine. Holland Rivers' perpetually sad face flashing through her thoughts.

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.
