You could always find yourself in Kentucky just because, Mr Webb.

[fakes_death]

That might not be a bad idea.

[He could use the opportunity to disappear for a little while. It might be nice to forget about his job for a little while.]

[shotgunwidow]

Promise to make it worth your while.

[She lifts her drink and finishes it off while she lets him think about the offer.]

[fakes_death]

That's some offer.

[shotgunwidow]

It was meant to sound enticin'. Otherwise, there's no incentive for you to come.

[fakes_death]

I think I have plenty of incentive. [smiles again before ordering his dessert, and he wasn't just talking about hot dogs and potato salad]

[shotgunwidow]

[She ducked her head and looked at the table, a blush pinking her cheeks before she ordered her own chocolate o'death. Calories? What are those?]

[fakes_death]

[Clay smiled again, the flattery really was going both ways this evening. He also wasn't going to make a judgment about Ava's choice of dessert, whatever she wanted was fine with him.]

[shotgunwidow]

[Ava really was better at dishing it out than taking it, but since he'd said it, she was going to have to get over the schoolgirl crush she was developing.

Once dessert was delivered, she lifted her spoon with a gleefully happy look on her face.] Gotta say, we don't usually do dessert like this out here.

[fakes_death]

Most places don't do desserts quite like this. These are special.

[Though he had to admit he enjoyed that she was enjoying it]

[shotgunwidow]

They're like little works of art. In chocolate.

[Really, she's enjoying it much more than she did her gourmet chicken and that's saying quite a lot. The way she's savoring every bite is really kind of intriguing... long, slow licks with the spoon, eyes closed as she swallows and then slowly takes another bite.]

[fakes_death]

[Now Clay was enjoying his dessert too, for an entirely different reason. If he needed any further convincing to make a side trip to Kentucky, she'd just done it.]

[shotgunwidow]

[At no point did Ava realize what she was doing. Instead, she took her time eating, her mouth working the spoon, every now and again, a tiny happy hum escaping. When her dessert was halfway done, she scooped up an obscene amount and held it out.]

Bite?

[fakes_death]

No, thank you for the offer though. You look like you're enjoying it.

[And with that, he's going to eat his own dessert, trying to be less obvious about his watching]

[shotgunwidow]

Promise you, I am.

[She pulls the spoon back and goes back to her dessert... with obvious enjoyment. Another few minutes, though, and she's finished, though she's loathe to put the spoon down.] That was amazing.
