Bitter, Leverage, Parker/Tara Cole

[r_m_writings]

The wine tastes bitter in Parker's mouth. She doesn't like it, but she has to at least sip it for this con to be believable. She hates playing grifter, it's the worst part of the job. She much prefers throwing herself off tall buildings to drinking this bitter and sour thing that makes her mouth want to pucker up, and talk to these horrible people.

Later, Tara kisses her in a corridor, for good luck, she claims. The wine doesn't taste bitter in Tara's mouth.
