Re: Grand entrance
Piper swore he spoke just to hear his own voice sometimes and if it wasn't so ridiculous, she wouldn't mind one bit. He had a deep, gruff and gravely male voice that made her mind wander frequently but babbling was still babbling. She would know. "You know that wouldn't happen now that you're outnumbered by women."
Her first response was to stroke his ego and until she realized he'd had enough of that for one night. Hell, he didn't deserve it either with how insecure she still felt and decided to tease him instead, "I don't know. I'm seeing a few fine specimens so far," smiling up at him innocently, "and the night is still young."
