Re: 7:15 p.m., at a booth - max
Max smiled appreciatively at the compliment. “It’s a long story,” she said, setting her beer down after taking a good drink of it. “The short answer is that I was in the military, and after I left I got picked up by a security agency.” There was no need for many details with someone she only knew as an acquaintance, but she wasn’t shy about talking about it with friends. “It’s good work…these people attract all kinds of attention, from adoring fans to stalkers. I just try to keep a bubble of safety around them, and I usually look damn good while doing it,” she said with a little grin. “Have to blend in at parties and functions, after all.”
