"No problem," I said. "Now, I’m starving. Let's go grab some lunch."
She hesitated, which was why I hadn't asked her to lunch.
"I should really…"
"You have to be in court somewhere else?"
"No."
"So let's go eat."
"Don't you want to join your friends?" She gestured to the corner where Zero, Wrath, and Murphy had stopped for a smoke.
I wasn't used to girls trying to get away from me. Usually they jumped at the chance to, well, jump me. This one was twitching to ditch me. It made me want to pursue her even harder.
"Nah, they can come back and grab me later."
"I'm married," she squeaked out.
Well, fuck me.
