I wasn't sure how I'd missed it all until she said, Apparently, apart from being fabulous and having very roomy pockets, it also enchanted her appearance.

Just little touches here and there to make the eye pass over her.

Terribly useful if you're a criminal mastermind.

I gave her my thanks for the wine, which she cordially accepted, and she asked for my name, which I cordially lied about.

All the steps in the dance of meaning and implication, all leading up to her asking the inevitable question, So, Monsieur Fend, what can we do for you on this fine evening?

And when she said that, she looked at me.

And looking into those eyes, I realized this woman was only young in all the ways that didn't matter.

The mind behind those eyes was a steel trap and I was stepping into it.

Tonight.

She nods and says it's quite possible.
