He had taken her analogy and sort of run away with it. Rylan wasn’t sure if she was supposed to be concerned or flattered by his remarks. Brows disappeared behind her bangs and she looked slightly stunned beneath the weight of his cocky smile. “I will… take that as a compliment,” she decided, eyes dancing over the empty glasses on the table. The bottle was empty as well. She wished it wasn’t.
She couldn’t remember having ever been kissed like that before. Like he was suffocating and she was the oxygen he needed to survive. The moment had left her breathless, like he had indeed taken the very air from her lungs. He continued to hold her when they’d separated and she was not put off by the continued contact. When he smirked at her, she did so as well, but hers was not nearly so triumphant. A gentle curl meant to acquiesce to his obvious victory.
Rylan’s ear swiveled backwards when he suggested that she had found her husband.They returned to attention when he referred to her as his wife. Her face went entirely neutral as she looked up at him, and she was quiet for a long time. A very, noticeably long amount of time in which she just stared back at him.
Undeniably there were parts of him that seemed familiar. His blonde hair and grey eyes and the way he used sarcasm as a defense reminded her of Cain. His poker face and need to have the last word reminded her of Anita. And if she was ever honest with herself, she didn't remember who their father was. He touched her like he was sure she would approve of the contact, easily avoiding places she didn't like to be touched. His hand had pressed against her right shoulder, not her left, but that could have been a coincidence.
Her head tilted, but she still didn't respond, just continued to look at him as she took the time to sort through her own thoughts. She tried to place him into the obvious holes in her memory, like a child trying to figure out which shapes fit in which section of a game. Testing to see if it could be him.
"Julianna," he sounded surprised, and the music stopped abruptly, but the man smiled at her. When she reached out to touch his face, he closed his eyes and pressed his pressed his cheek into her hand, prickly from a few days without shaving.
His eyes were blue.
His eyes were grey.
Clearing her throat she looked away from him. She rearranged her position to match his new one, so she could continue to comfortably lean against him. Her head fit perfectly beneath his chin, if she let her ears fall to either side. If he wanted to say he was her husband then fine, he would accommodate her desire to be touched while she asked him a few questions. A hand lifted to reach across the table and idly toy with an empty shot glass.
“You don't call me Rylan," Not a question. "What do you call me?” she asked. An easy one for him to start with.
