[013] playing with fire

                                                                     One thing about Margo Ananada that had yet to change was her love for luxury. But Art already figured that growing up with a silver spoon would do that to you. Margo chooses a luxurious hotel for them to meet at, adorned in all black and nursing a Shirley Temple for a little while sitting in the lobby. 

                                                                    Art swears he can feel his heart beating right out of his chest as he takes each and every deliberate step towards the woman he once thought he'd spend forever with. The woman he missed more than anything in this world.

                                                                   Margo hears his footsteps, sipping through her straw as she looks up at him. He smiles softly, leaning towering over her for a moment before he decided to sit across from her on one of the chairs. He looked polished and neat, but his eyes still resembled the same Art Margo had remembered. Margo didn't think she resembled her old self anymore - not when she had done everything possible to kill and bury that part of her. With one final sip, she finishes her Shirley Temple as Art prepared to speak and interrupt the silence that had begun to fall over them both.

                                                                 "I didn't think you'd be here," Art speaks first, an admission of his own nerves. "I almost thought this was one grand trick of yours and I'd show up alone. Your final act to embarrass me."
