“Personal assistant,” she said, reaching for her wine.

“I’m sorry?”

“Personal assistant, not secretary.”

“Forgive me,” I said. “Still, not quite the meat of the question.”

She tilted her head at me, and there was an amused glimmer in her eye. “Nothing,” she said.

“What?”

“Nothing, nothing happens. Or rather there is generally some type of conversation and the outcome is I continue to do my job with no harassment.” She sipped at her wine, and her eyes were merry and amused.

“How does that work, exactly?” I had my theories, of course. She’s been kidnapped twice, had her life threatened a few times, and yet… she’s fine. The two times she was kidnapped, she was released unharmed without intervention.

“I don’t normally like to talk this much about work on a first date,” she said.

“Oh, well, I’m not trying to pry, I’m just curious. I thought you’d keep your job closer to your chest.”

“In general, I do. But you’re… very pretty.”

She winked, which made me actually blush, something I rarely do these days.
