"Code name?" Eddie couldn't help but laugh at that. It was the kind of laugh where he was enjoying the company, not mocking. She was interesting and he actually was enjoying spending time with her more than he would have guessed.

Once both glasses were poured, he set the bottle aside and paused just long enough to ensure it was stable. Then he slid one glass to his opposite hand in order to offer her one while holding his own simultaneously. He nodded about her brother and offered a piece of information he was intrigued to follow. "George said you're a nice young woman. Have you ever thought about trying to pursue something different with him?"

The man took a sip of his wine as he watched her and his lips settled from the wide smile he had worn into something more thoughtful. "Hopefully go back and get a second chance to be smarter about things. If I could predict what was going to happen and got another opportunity to think better about those things, I could have gotten a lot more without being the asshole it took to get me here."
