"Darlin, I can tell you right now.. anyone we both know, I don't trust. As far as I'm concerned, I don't have to prove myself to you. I have no intention of going back on what I say, and you can take it as that. As for what you tell them, I know you can be creative. Tell them you're trying to help me, tell them we're lovers, tell them you've lost your goddamn mind.." Vaughn leaned a little closer, dropping her voice as a trio of students walked by, arguing over an algorithm. So close now that she was nearly whispering in Boyd's ear. "Or you can walk away from this table right now. Either way, I'm getting what I want. If it's hurtin' you, or someone you care about. You can make that choice right here."
Vaughn sat back and collected her soda from the other side of the table. "It's a one time offer, I won't make it again. Besides, what's six months to someone like you?" Boyd had been talking about how pleasantly busy she was with school and everything. Six months should be a breeze.
