"You look like a grouchy little cat," he smiled.
"It's in the dead of the night," she reasoned. "If you wanted to talk to me, then perhaps—"
"Tomorrow, they will put security around this place and it would be harder for me to walk inside or for you to leave."
"That—" That might just happen.
"I thought we could commemorate this night with some— tea."
"Don't you have something stronger?" she asked.
