This is already a bad starting and she was not sure how well the ending would turn out to be.
Cari expected Pete to start the conversation and Pete was expecting the same from her.
As for Cari, the tension was getting thick, bringing in more heat to the large pub "Are you not going to say something?" Her voice was so light compared to Pete's baritone.
Pete moistened his pink lips with his tongue, aware of Cari's eyes following his action. He uttered a little polite cough before starting. "You need financial assistance?"
"Yes" Cari sat foward, her eyes solely fixef on him. She thought about being completely honest with him, coming clean by telling him about the debts she needs to clear up. Something tells her she could trust him with her secrets but she wasn't going to listen to that tiny voice in her head, it could be wrong. She has to have some dignity left by telling him only what he needs to know.
Her brain got into the calculative mode.
