Grey came in, saw Silver Woman waiting, and took a chair at her table with his back to the wall. He ordered a bleu cheese burger with water, no ice. Silver Woman was stirring her drink, toying with the straw. He turned to her and asked, "How was your date?"
"Fine." She looked up. "Quite nice, actually. He took me to the Blue Sea Grill, and we had seafood. He got a bottle of wine, and we drank that and talked. And then he ordered another bottle and we drank and talked, and then we had something to drink. I'm pretty sure he has a drinking problem." She sighed. "Of course, it's not like anyone gets to forty-five without some kind of scars. Except you," she added.
He shrugged. "Nobody knows about mine. I listen to people, they don't listen to me." He stopped, distantly curious to see if she'd pick up on that, but she went on about her date.
