BONES STARTERS ! accepting . ⤿ @msmurdr .
' you're bad with people, okay?. no use being offended by the fact. '
A near - freezing wind blew past her feet , and Lara stepped back . She had no trouble with honesty — well meaning or otherwise — and found she quite enjoyed not being restrained by propriety and societal norms … but it was still midnight , and her bad foot ached in the cold .
❝ You’re right , ❞ she mumbled , barely hiding her impatience . ❝ Now … if you would like to continue this conversation , come in . Otherwise I’ll have to ask you to leave . ❞
The room behind her held little in the way of comfort , nor did it have the appropriate amount of wine to soothe her fraying nerves , but staying outside wasn’t an option . Not for her ; not since Paris . Besides , the Mayfair Croft Trust Offices were located in one of the busier streets of downtown London , and she had no interest in being videotaped . Again .
Stepping further into the cozy warmth of the office space , Lara straightened . She knew there was no hiding the sallow skin and whisky on her breath , but there was nothing she could do about that now , and giving up on her dignity besides scarcely seemed helpful . ❝ Move it . ❞
