"I left... They..." she stopped. No, she wasn't going to say it. Not because the defense was automatic, but because her thoughts were too scattered to pull the full phrase. Her eyes snapped up, lightning through gray storm clouds. "Not even I'm that good." She pulled her hand through her hair at her temple in two short jerks and then rolled quickly to her feet from the chair. "I have to go." She looked straight over his head for a moment, contemplating the wall, then her expression became solid, confident, slightly distracted. As if she'd just remembered something in that moment. "Now. But thanks so much for your hospitality." Her tongue flicked out and moved over her lower lip, a little more leisurely than was really necessary. "Yes." Her shoulder twitched once, as if she wanted to move her arms back into their defensive position, but she quelled the urge almost as soon as she noticed it. "Goodnight." And she turned neatly on one heel, long and controlled in the thin clothes, and walked out the door.
