Doylestown gulped his drink, he too was astonished to see Maria. He is not a man that deals with pleasures or flirting with ladies and it's been long he slept with one. He never had time to be exposed to emotions and love, though he had a wife, that was not what he wanted to think about.
“Star of the night” Doylestown licked his upper lip tasting the beer that hung on his moustache. Maria curled up bringing herself together with her both hands on the bar table but she was looking sideways at Doylestown.
She didn't mind the scenario. A normal lady would like to show off a bit by putting up some attitudes to keep the admiration active but Maria turned that off by ordering a drink, a beer to be precise.
“You said you wanted to talk” Doylestown stared at her but with no sign of curiosity. He just wanted to see her and to hear the part of her story of how she survived and escaped from Botan and Hiroshi after the attack at Kai's house.
