He was a curious one. She had trouble figuring out his role with Oakland. He moved about freely....but had an obvious guard. People did not hide their distrust of him...and it didn't bother him at all. Oakland's keeping him around said something, though what it was she didn't know.
It seemed her first cast had caught something. Now to reel it in and see what it was. She brushed aside his casual statement and took his hands. Dancing could be fun. And if she earned a bit of his trust, perhaps she could learn more about Oakland's operation.
He moved about effortlessly and she quickly fell into step with him. Despite her assessment of him, she found herself enjoying his complete indifference. He was what he was and did not care to pretend otherwise.
Strangest of all, despite the very real differences between this manicured, cultured and physically unimposing man and the massive, earthy and masculine Regan, there was something eerily similar. She had not expected that at all. No man she was with ever reminder her of Regan.
She was surprised to find her smile was real.
