MYVALUE.
Well, then. She likes this one already. No bull will be taken here.
Peggy pushes up on her toes to seat herself on the stool at the bar and holds up a finger to get the bartender’s attention. The well dressed young man sets a monogrammed napkin in front of her. “ Another Negroni, Ms. Carter ? ” She accepts the offer and watches him move away to make her drink before turning back to the woman beside her. “ Well, I hope you’ll at least stay for dinner. I planned the menu myself and I think it might just be worth your precious time. Unless you’re a vegetarian, of course. ”

JERYN HOGARTH IS FIFTY years old. She will be fifty - one in August. The clock in this room is modest, but goddamn louder than a bass drum. It’s nothing personal, the thought of leaving without a word, but something keeps her there. And, no, it’s not the woman’s name. Celebrity, even in the quieter and properly buried branches in the tree of life, does not make her tremble in the perch of her feet atop five - inch Jimmy Choos. No, no, it’s more… an understanding.
Sitting at a bar is something she painstakingly avoids, but exceptions are her most unfortunate lifeblood, these days. “ Is this habitual for you ? ”

❝ YES MA’AM. ❞ Like gentle is somethin’ that can CO-EXIST. She’s got no idea. ❝ It was me, what you’re askin’ about. No denyin’ that. ❞
“ THEN WE’RE GETTING SOMEWHERE. ” That clip doesn’t follow her own advice, but at the least, it’s as smooth as silk and sharp enough to alleviate any erstwhile distractions. “ It gets harder. ” He knows, she’s sure ------ or maybe it doesn’t mean much anymore. Jeri hasn’t lived it, but she’s aware. “ I’m going to ask you about the details you won’t speak of with anyone else. ”
