She was, secretly, disappointed when he didn’t seem impressed by her abilities. Making things disappear and reappear usually got more of a reaction and was one of her favorite party tricks, so to speak. No reaction when she’d phased into the booth, no reaction when she’d stolen her unearned prize. Like he had seen it done before, but Rylan didn’t know of anyone who could do what she did. Not in the same way.
'I was thinking about you,' he’d said, but he couldn’t have been serious? Rylan was beginning to doubt her belief that his man didn’t know her. She tried to push the thought away. He didn't know her; it was just a line he used to pick up women. Though nothing explained why he seemed sad, and somehow, the smallest bit annoyed by her. She had gone quiet, eyes flickering across the empty shot glass she turned in small circles with her fingertips.
She was reminded of the holes in her memory. The ones that she usually ignored that were inexplicably empty. Owen talked to her like he knew her, perhaps she should give him the benefit, instead of continuing to run away from things that scared her.
Rylan didn't ask why he was so caught up on husbands, but she laughed as he spoke, like his words had been intended as a joke. “I’ve never taken anyone home from this bar,” she admitted, turning the lighter she’d retrieved in her fingers. The alcoholism she didn’t try to deny. She had in fact seen the bottom of many bottles. “I was just messing with you.” Lifting the slightest bit from the seat, her tail curled as she leaned across the table to bring her cigarettes closer. Pulling one out, she settled it on her lips and lit it with a flick of the Zippo without question or care that her boothmate would be displeased.
She blew smoke away from him, unperturbed by the hands in her hair. Something about the rhythm was familiar. Rylan let him take the bottle without protest, though her brows disappeared behind her bangs when he emptied the bottle. She pursed her lips, as if disappointed when it met the table with a dull clink. “There’s a first time for everything,” she replied, smoke trailing her words. She tapped ash into the tray.
“But first, you get to tell me why you talk to me like you know me.”
