Maeve found it endearing that Owen thought she couldn't tell that his attention was divided. Even though he was born only a few days after her, she still considered him her younger brother and lorded her status as big sister over him. She knew him too well for him to be playing these games with her, but she went along with it.
She couldn't say she was surprised by his fixation with a little rabbit. It was hard to get a wolf off a trail once they locked on to something. She'd never believed his prey hunting days were over after college. Even if he did marry a tigress.
Ignoring the menu, she smiled pleasantly at her brother. She didn't need it to order a sirloin steak, medium rare and another glass of red wine when their server came by for their orders. She cleared away empty glasses and the dishes from their appetizer. " I do make a lot of money," she agreed. Not that she necessarily considered the income as strongly as her brother. "Enough money that it has afforded me the opportunity to travel. As far as networking goes, I'd like to expand to an international market."
She mimicked his posture, only so far as she leaned back into her chair. She crossed one leg over the other and folded her arms over her chest. Periodically, she reached out to pick up her wine glass.
"Of course, I like hanging out with you," she replied. Knowing that he was trying to say that he enjoyed the time spent with her as well. "But my business needs to grow. There's a jeweler's convention in Japan later this year. I already applied to it."
Maeve glanced at her watch briefly, a ploy to get him to look away from her again. It worked, because when she looked at Owen again his eyes were following something over the line of her shoulder. She wondered if the rabbit was leaving. Finished with her treats and off to enjoy the rest of the hotels amenities.
The blonde woman tilted her head. As if deliberately indicating to Owen that she could tell he wasn't paying attention to her.
"That bunny I saw you talking with earlier, does she work for you?"

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.
