A small smile played over his lips, it wasn't the first time and probably not the last time they would have a conversation like this. He actually enjoyed it more than he wanted to admit, Maddy always challenged him, in a good way. And, he didn't mind that she was around, and maybe he tried to get a reaction form her, that neither one of them expected. She knew him, better than anyone, or at least she actually didn't say yes, just because he asked. "Maybe, maybe not," he replied, "I know that some of these people here won't tell me what they want to say," he looked around the room, "they will tell me what they think I want to hear." He moved closer, an arm around her waist pulling her closer, "but I also know, that you, you will tell me what's on your mind," he licked his lips, "maybe that's why I'm more drawn to you, than some other people, or willing to give you some of the things I want."
