Warrior Tucker gently wiped away the spill on the back of her hand, an unconscious shiver resulting in the overturned water. Her lips, lacking curvature and bright red, betrayed not a shred of her pride as she asked, "... Then why not approach Walker Martinez?"
Instead, you have chosen me as the alternative.
Holly Martinez picked at her lips, her gaze drifting away from the celebrities on the stage. "Having been with Walker for so many years, you should know his nature. He's not one to change his mind readily, and rarely do others interfere with his decisions. Even as his sister, he keeps our relationship strictly professional."
Warrior Tucker didn't disagree.
She was fully aware.
Walker Martinez was too stubborn, as was evident from his childhood to the present day.
