"If you don't mind," Zelda said softly. This time - this time she actually had to just talk to him, because she had not been kidding when she promised Ari that it would never happen again. There would be no sketchy museum table sex, nothing in the boat; she really ought to never visit the boat again. And if she was really adhering to the spirit of her brother's request, she would have stayed far away from Mr. Darrow; she would have never said anything to him again.
Except that she had missed him, and she was lonely, and she felt as if there was still something to be said. She could have just gone home, but home was in the depths of the fog, an entire train ride away, with Xena trapped inside and the pressing sense that she had to be doing something.
"Maybe not here, though," she said. Dancing around it could only get them so far in a hallway, of all places, although she was equally hesitant to go anywhere private. Her life had not been nearly so difficult when she could still trust herself.
