Nina was thinking that this guy had definitely led an interesting life. Very busy, it seemed. She'd been busy too, just in a whole different vein.
"So you grew not to care about people, it wasn't like that from the start?" she asked. "Or are you just saying that it was lucky for you that you weren't bothered by that kind of shit when you needed to get down and dirty with things?" She paused, eyes still watching him. "What did you owe money for, out of curiosity?"
She grinned at his saying she was his new favorite. That was cute, in a really strange way, she guessed. But this conversation was fun, and very interesting, and that was good for her. "I'll definitely let you know. I'm still assessing. Can't jump on these things too fast."
