Paper Faces - 1. Babble

I down my shot of tequila, my lips pursing as I suck on the lime. Irritably, I tug my half-mask back in place and turn to find the brunette, regrettably, still at my arm.

She's not my type – could never be – but she hasn't let me get a single word in to tell her so.

I decide to be direct.

"Jessica, I hate to interrupt…" She pauses midsentence, one eyebrow arched coolly. "But I'm afraid you're wasting your time."

She gapes as I walk away, striding toward the balcony doors. The night air is crisp and cool, a welcome reprieve.
