"Doesn't the lack of it just make me look so handsome?" A quick joke wasn't against the law, right? He was aware that he was a handsome guy and women were too, but it wasn't as if he splurged on the one night stands. He'd learned his lesson with the dangers of that a long time ago. "Just joking." And boy, could he use a lighthearted moment after that conversation with his sister. A quick grin as he picked up his glass. "Ma'am ... Dessert is always the way to go."
After a quick sip, he was nodding as he brushed his fingers against the paper napkin. "It's okay, actually. Not my favorite, but it's okay." Politely, he waited until she finished her order and idly picked at his pie, but then his face broke out into a grin. "Does it really show that much?" But time off would prove disastrous - he had bills and child support to pay. "I went out with the guys last night and I was drunk, so I decided to stay up." It helped, anyway. It really worked.
