Marv was cleaning up after an active night at the club while Lace counted the tips for the evening. Lace was so excited about tomorrow night that she was hopping on the spot. She was chatting about her costume, but Marv was miles away, thinking about Arioch and his cool arms on her skin, especially her scars. Lace began to click her fingers in front of Marv's face, which made her look at her co-worker.
"you are zoning out a lot lately," Lace smiled with a tease in her tone. "Especially after your little talk with the boss" she walked her fingers towards Marv. "someone has a crush" she bit her bottom lip.
Marv shook her head. "No, just someone new" Lace's face turned down.
Lace suddenly changed the topic, quickly. "Kind of distracting," she said in a monotone, "but the big masquerade ball? I am so excited, I am going for a western vampire, and you?" she asked with bright eyes
"Some sort of honeybee queen," Marv said with a smile.
