It's too late for someone like me
Who: Rekki, Spy (Fabien Devereux)
What: she plays the role of the hearer of confessions
Where: Bean There Done That KaffeeHaüs
When: shortly after this
Earlier, Rekki recalled, Devereux's eyes had looked like windows with spidering cracks. There was a hidden kind of brittleness to him. He had hinted at something he'd done recently. What had he become involved in? Could it have ever been worse than her own choices? Could anything?
These were her thoughts as she lingered over her beverage, something related to coffee in the same way a poodle was descended from a wolf. She frowned at it. She'd made monosyllabic replies to anyone attempting to greet her, indicating to her social circle that she wanted to be left alone. Sensitive to her moods, they did so rather than be subtly insulted.
She closed her iBook when the subject of these thoughts arrived and gave him a small smile that was as warm as an anemic fireplace in an old house.
