With the razor precision of predator's skill in observation, Owen watched Piper trade off between tasting her drink and tasting her cigarette. His eyes followed her hand to the ashtray and back.
She spoke about her reticence to go to parties without a companion. She was telegraphing her availability that was obvious. In these sort of scenarios, he was supposed to telegraph his availability back. He knew how flirting worked.
To lie or to tell the truth?
He took out a gold leafed cigarette case. It was a bit ostentatious. A gift from Sophia. He stuck a cigarette between his lips. The only response he gave her was a curt hum. He heard her. He understood was she was saying.
He lit up and took a drag before answering her more direct query. "I was feeling low key tonight." He said finally.
Owen took a drink and watched the steam rise around her. "Unfortunate about your breakup." He smirked. "His loss. Have to be a moron to let you go." He took another drink and surveyed how his words would land.
