"I like trying new things too, Leah." I smile pleasantly. "Maybe I'll try those muffins next time." She's really very pretty and speaking of muffins... No, I'm working, not playing and I make sure to listen attentively, only asking a few questions as she talks about Hope.

Leah nods, her long hair slipping loose from the movement and I wonder if she knows how good she looks right now. Her tiny frown only adds to it. "I think so... The things she said and the questions she let me ask her...She even offered to teach me how to read the cards."

"Hope sounds very nice, and it sounds like she was open with you too. That's rare." I nod, smiling and I ask, "Did you ask her about the cards, or something else? And if you need someone to practice on, I volunteer." She could practice on me and damn... that doesn't sound like a come-on. At all. Maybe she didn't notice and I can stick to being professional instead of possibly offending her.
