There are still just two glasses of water on the table when a silence settles over them that Anna is powerless to fill. Ice cubes melt. Water condenses. Tom's fingers leave trails as they curl through the moisture. Blunted, workingman's fingertips capping the sculpted line of his arms and shoulders. They tap on the glass. He's from Aberdeen.

Not that she really blamed the girl — barely 19, with upper thighs about as thick as her stilettos, glossy mouth turning down as they walked in. She'd probably hoped for a nicer joint than Walkman’s, given the glitzy parties taking place at the casinos just a few blocks away.
