Rhi was almost as intoxicating as the beverage she held. She had an allure that Eddie wasn’t even sure he understood. She was vulnerable, yes, but at at the same time, every word seemed to pull him to her. He was enthralled, not only by her beauty, but by her demeanor.

Her business, while her own, could be conducted and Eddie has the opportunity to practice should Pervaya Liniya decided to hire him. This would be the kind of work he would be doing anyways. And he had the advantage of not only knowing someone was interested in his companion. He knew who it was.
”You got it,” he whispered back to her. ”Whatever you need.”
