A Blind Date
#14
"I try to keep my eyes down while I walk."
She replied. Otherwise she'd drown in red tape and bureaucrats.

She followed his lead on the wine, sampling some after both their glasses were poured. She hesitated just a moment in case he wanted to toast something, but when he didn't, Torri didn't mind the absence of the ritual. She sipped, and it was good, but she wasn't sure if she would be able to pick out a bad wine. And in a place like this, they likely didn't stock anything that wasn't impeccable.

"I was born there, but I'd not say I grew up in Argentina. All over, really. We moved every couple of years. Even then my parents rarely let me go off base. South America is 'no place for a little crumpet like myself to be wandering,' or so my parents said."
Her expression denoted mischief at that last, but not so much as to toss red-flags.

She wasn't particularly keen on talking about herself. Perhaps she was the only woman alive that found the subject uncomfortable, and it might have something to do with the fact that she was still single. It was hard to have a relationship with someone while yet keeping them at arm's length.

She was quite ready to shift the focus back on Drayson. "What about you? What made you get into police work?"
