Antonio spotted her from across Molly's. Her long blonde hair was framing her face like a halo, it was different to see it down instead of braided. He normally saw Sylvie Brett when he was working, but seeing her tonight was like it was the first time he laid eyes on her. He never knew that he could be jealous of a wine glass until he saw her bring it to her lips and take a sip. She was laughing with Gabby, he admired the way that her whole face lit up as she was laughing. He was certain he had never seen anything more beautiful than Sylvie in this moment.
Antonio knew that she was out of his league. What could he offer a woman like Sylvie, he had a crazy ex-wife and two kids, he got shot at for a living, and he was exhausted 24/7? He planned to only admire her from a distance, but when Otis asked him if he needed anything he said "Nah, man I'm good, but can you send another glass of wine over to Brett?" Otis gave him a knowing look, but nodded his head yes.
Sylvie was obviously confused when Otis set the glass in front of Sylvie. Then both Sylvie and Gabby turned to look at him. Sylvie was smiling and holding the glass up to silently thank him, Gabby however was staring with her mouth open clearly shocked by her brother's bold gesture.
Sylvie and Gabby were headed out of Molly's around midnight, Antonio was still trying to discreetly watch over her, but he was failing miserably. Anyone could see exactly who he had his eye on. Sylvie walked towards the exit, which where Antonio was sitting. She was following Gabby out the door, when she passed by his table she dropped a napkin on it. As Antonio read the note, his face broke out into a wide smile. The only thing written on the note was her phone number.
