Re: Leo + Marlene
"That makes one of us then," Leo said, glancing around. "I was forced to attend tonight and I plan to leave as soon as I can." He figured if he spoke with three people who were not Clorinda, he could pacify his mother for at least a week. One down, two to go.
Leo couldn't imagine a more depressing job. "Why do you stay then? That sounds fucking awful." He tossed back half of his whiskey, figuring when it was done he could excuse himself to find another, and then try to check off another conversation from his list. "Not right this moment. Currently I'm complying the information I've gathered in my last year of travel. Mainly the mating habits of the Snallygaster."
