OMG you guys this fill got a bit long.
Chapter 1
"Well, my dear, it is certainly lovely to see you again," Francis said, flashing her a most charming smile. He would not say that running into her was unexpected. Rather, he would not admit it. Of course, it was usual to run into other scientists you had worked with in the past at a conference, but after not seeing her for five years he had rather presumed that she had taken her talents elsewhere.
Of course, he had still been very pleased to stop her across the foyer. It had, however, been a slight shock.
“I’m sure it is,” she muttered, looking pointedly away from him. He studied her for a moment. Surely he could not yet have done anything to make her so angry? Maybe she had plans for this evening and had not wished to accept his invitation to dinner but had not felt able to say no? Maybe she had a lover now, or a husband, and had no interest in talking to past lovers? Maybe he should not have asked her? Still, when he had seen her standing there in the foyer after so long he had not been able to help himself.
“How have you been?” he asked, lifting his wine glass in what he hoped was a casual gesture. “I hope that the world has been kind to you?”
“Yes, fine,” she said, still refusing to meet his gaze. He glanced over to the area she was studying but, when he did not see anything of great interest, turned to study her instead. She was biting her bottom lip again, a gesture he remembered her making before when she was nervous.
“My dear,” Francis said, shifting forward in his chair. “Is there something I have done to upset you? Perhaps you did not wish to find with me this evening? Please do not feel obliged to stay here if you are unhappy...”
Her gaze shot up to meet his and they locked eyes for a few seconds before she looked away again.
“I...it’s not that I don’t appreciate the dinner...” she said, frowning. “Though you could have picked somewhere more casual. I just...I guess I don’t know why you asked me here.”
“Can a man not ask a beautiful woman to dine with him?” Francis asked, flashing her when he hoped was a seductive smile. She glared at him and he couldn’t help but let his smile fall into one which was more natural. He remembered this kind of interaction very well.
“No, not really,” she said, heaving a sigh, “Not when they fucked five years ago and haven’t spoken since.”
“My dear, do not be so rude!”
“Well, it was rude,” she snapped, her eyes finally meeting him again. “You damn frog, surely you get at least that much. It was just a quick, dirty fuck, right? Nothing with emotional significance. What did you think, that we would come to dinner and discuss technique?”
“Of course not,” he frowned. “My dear, it may have been meaningless to you but I assure you that it was not for me. Was it not good for you?”
“The sex was fine,” she said, waving dismissively. “What I mean is, having had sex doesn’t mean we’re friends and we can go out for dinner and a nice chat.”
