Sun Mote Copse Well I bet my soul on a six string gamble

She didn't react terribly to the half-suggestion but she didn't seem thrilled either.  Which kind of surprised him.  Not the not thrilled part, but the fact that the hesitance seemed to be aimed at going back and not him suggesting it.  So she did like it here.

I like it here, he agreed.  Better than Redhawks by far.  It's worth seeing if she'll change her mind.  I just am not holdin my breath.  Fin and her had plans, and Colt and Niamh's just likely didn't line up.  None this year, and unbeknownst to him, this was his last shot.  Would be just like karma to make him want them just in time to never achieve it.

Maybe we can talk to her again, later.  If there's time.  They couldn't choose when her season came and they might not have a ton of time left.  She wanted to get dinner some night, me and you and her and Eljay.  The fact that she had given them a process was a good sign, he guessed, but in this one thing he figured he could afford to be a bit pessimistic.
