Re: Woods: Patrick/Mary
I would. [Patrick probably, mostly likely would believe her if she gave him her name. All right, he might think she was bullshitting at first, but he was a trusting guy, even after being burned, and walking him back to trust would be painfully easy. Gullible. This guy was gullible.] Dude, you don't get to decide if I'll believe you or not. I always believed you.
[He pulled her to a stop, but he let her go almost immediately, fingers moving from her arm and his hand coming to fall at his side. He shifted on the balls of his feet, and he ran a hand through floppy blond.] I didn't lie to you. [Unnecessary reminder, but everything he'd told her was 100% true and verifiable. Hello, honesty, thy name is Patrick Gunster.] Come on. Don't do that. [The charming thing.] Be straight with me, and don't do that thing where you sound like we're in a bedroom somewhere.
