No lie.\u201d He chuckled. Upon their entrance, the man behind the counter gave a shout of surprise and welcome. \u201cIf it isn\u2019t Tony Stark! And another lovely lady! Come to treat her to the good stuff, eh?\u201d The man winked with a suggestive smile. \u201cJust dinner for now. We\u2019ll see about later.~\u201d He quirked an eyebrow at her with a smirk. Sauntering over to his usual spot, a corner booth, he allowed her to sit before taking his own seat. \u201cAh, yes, two of the special please. And whatever the lady would like to drink.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All she could do was shake her head with a forbearing smile and follow Tony to the booth. Very purposefully, she sat across from him. \u201cJust a soda,\u201d Summer said firmly, to the waiter. \u201cLemon-lime.\u201d Then she fixed Tony with a sceptical look. \u201cYou\u2019ll see about later? Maybe you want to ask me? I might have plans. I might have a boyfriend \u2014 or girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I might be starting to wonder if the game is worth the candle, she thought.
