Lily smiled as he did, and nodded. "Oh yeah, you'd do handsomely. The girls would fall at your feet and the men would envy but fear you..." She mused, narrowed eyes and the smile of someone who was enjoying herself. Because she didn't think Cary had told her he was a police officer, she obviously didn't know and actually laughed when he made that revelation. "That's brilliant. You'd know all about it, though, how to dodge the actual police. You'd be fantastic. Like one of those coppers from the noir films who become entangled in something very illegal because of some bird who drives them crazy." She continued, visibly amused. "I love those kinds of films."
Lily took a sip of her sidecar and closed her eyes to savor it. It might simply have been the sweet taste of the triple sec along with the sour lemon, but at the moment it felt like the best thing Lily had ever tasted.
