Evening of Day 5
[continues from
here.]
Kora's arm is still tucked under my arm, and she smiles up at me, a completely open smile, and says:
"Why don't we slip inside?"
There's a twinkle of naughty schoolgirl to her voice as she says it, and I grin back, my own voice low and complicit.
"You can lead me anywhere, my dear," I say, and just like that we are moving into the house.
Outside Miao's dance is winding to a close. Through the glass of the lobby I look at the red lanterns swaying in the breeze. In the lobby it is quiet and dark. Kora's arm is warm; I can feel her skin even through the fabric of my shirt.
"Before we go any further, my dear, I want you to know that I am perfectly happy paying your hourly rate, even if we just sit and talk. We don't need to talk about the money at all." It's hard to appear as if you courting someone if you're negotiating a price, and tonight I want something with the trappings of a seduction. I give Kora a slow smile.
