For some reason Bill had the unreasonable fear that if he let her go now, Sookie would be lost to him forever. He tried to shake the unreasonable thought, but it held on, stubbornly.
"What time do you get off?" He cast about in his mind for something. Anything that would hold her close at hand. Even if he had to wait out her shift to gain it.
"Perhaps I might... escort you somewhere afterwards? Maybe we could go to dinner in Shreveport? There are some nice restaurants there." Although it was too close to Fangtasia for Bill's liking, and thus to Eric Northman, Shreveport offered a much better bill of fare than anything to be found in Bon Temps.
(ooc: don't let Sookie forget she's taking Max to Fangtasia lol)
