A Little Day Drinking

[Anna]

Anna chuckled, not because his question was funny, but ultimately because of the answer. She worked at a burlesque club now, but what she had done before was significantly more risqué. It hadn’t been something she was ashamed of. She had liked it, and was good at it too. She would be interested in more with Cade, and how he reacted to this might determine if it would even be a possibility.

”I moved here from Chicago because I needed a change. Moscow seemed like the place to be. I applied at Kallisti because it was similar to what I did in the States. It had a reputation that the dancers were treated well. Applying there made sense. I’ve been happy with the move so far.”

Anna didn’t actually tell him she used to take off clothes for money, but there was enough information for him to make the deduction if he thought about it.

”As for your brother, well, we’ve not actually spoken and if we have, it hasn’t been much. I’ve only really seen him in passing. I’m sorry - I don’t have much to tell you there. I can tell you he always treats the other performers with respect and seems to legitimately care about us. Elyse is his ex, and they still get along. That’s enough for me to trust him.” she frowned, her apology sincere. She really wished she could give him more.
