In the three years that followed waking up from her cryogenic sleep, she's built up a few things: a thick skin, an in-and-out knowledge of card games and how to win them any way she can, a massive debt, an appreciation for the finer things in life.
Gren, she thinks when he kisses her, might just be one of the finer things in life.
He's one of the finest things she's found here, that's for sure, and as much as that idea almost makes her laugh, she can't tell herself it's not true.
She wants him to go inside for dinner with her and not be able to take his eyes off her the entire time. She wants him to have a hard time not touching her.
She wants their next card game to end in a similar way to the last, and she wants him to spend the rest of the night adoring her with more than just those blue eyes.
Her arm uncurls from around his neck so they can walk toward the bar, but her hand only winds up in his. And even though it's the kind of thing that still surprises her a little, it's a good start.
She doesn't care if he catches sight of the little smile that refuses to leave her lips as they step inside and claim their corner booth.
