The hair on the back of Ford's neck stood up at the way she phrased that, but he had enough sense not to protest when she'd finally offered him a way out of the conversation. It was too personal, though, too possessive. I won't keep you from him. It implied that Dorian Fisk would be off pining for him each moment that he delayed... or was it only Ford's own insecurities about this exceptionally weird situation that made it seem like a strange way to phrase things? Was that a normal thing to say about people who were no more than friendly enough to get drinks after work on occasion?

But nevermind what he thought about it. He finally had an opportunity to leave (and he supposed he'd be taking the scarf with him, since he'd lied about it and she was still standing here and would notice if he seemed to 'forget' it now), and he wasn't going to pass it up.

"Yeah, sure," he said, aiming for an easy tone and not sure whether or not he'd managed it. "Take care, Miss Fisk."
