I've worked enough cons to know when a wingman isn't needed.
So I turned away.
I took myself out of the picture.
Not that she hadn't done that already with her "brother" introduction.
I was immaterial.
Which was, of course, the point.
Still, it stung.
Enough that my avoidance wasn't just so that I didn't blow her plan by staring in absolute awe of her ability to bullshit.
Because damn, she's good.
Glad it isn't just me who falls victim to her charm.
Except that I wish it was.
That's it, then, isn't it?
It's inevitable.
I am so screwed.
