“They\u2019re never that interesting,” she shot back, and if there\u2019s an edge of resentment or resignation to her voice nobody has to know but her.<\/p>\n

Though it\u2019s true; these are parties for people who drink to get drunk, fuck to keep score, and gossip like cruel vampires. She just goes to be reminded why she doesn\u2019t go. Maybe here, with the mask on, she\u2019ll do something shocking to even these jaded socialites.<\/p>\n

She tossed her head at his riposte. \u201cNow I\u2019m certain you\u2019re hiding some deformity under all that black. You\u2019d better get one of the girls here to check, just in case.\u201d She keeps staring anyway \u2014 it\u2019s a cutting comment, not meant to carry truth.<\/p>\n

She splutters a laugh; the entire idea embodied in his words is hilarious. “Sure, okay.” She steps a little closer to him, looks up to see that his eyes are intensely blue. “I don’t think anyone’s on the balcony right now … “<\/p>\n

This is the point where he’ll laugh at her, mock her for even pretending to take him seriously — basically backpedal furiously. She’s prepared to be amused as hell at whatever excuse he comes up with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
