"Brilliant! Then she can buy us all mansions. We'll just have to make sure she keeps some of the money for herself," he laughed, and glanced at the knife. "You're not planning to rob me at knifepoint on the way home, are you?"
((I should probably go get productive things done. *sigh* Be back later, though!))

Sapphy suddenly dropped the knife as if it had burned her. She hadn't realized she picked it up...
"C-Course not," she laughed.
((And I'm gonna go to bed! muah!))

"Good. 'Cause that'd spoil the whole plan." He grinned and turned to thank Sophia as she showed up and delivered their meals, which smelled wonderful. He dug into his tortellini.

(( )) Sapphy quietly dug into her meal -- it made her stomach hurt. When was the last time she ate anything? She couldn't remember. She crossed one arm over her stomach, hiding it underneath the table, as she ate with the other. "How is it?" she asked. |

"Perfect, as usual. Yours?"

"It's delicious. Thank you, Anthony," she smiled before lowering her eyes to take another bite.

He gave her a quick, curious look, surprised to hear that name. Somehow it reminded him of a moment back in Brooklyn, after they'd woken up together and right before he ran off to visit Raven. A moment when she'd looked at him, spoken a certain way, and it maybe should've made him happy, but it made him more uncomfortable instead.
Sometimes he was afraid she'd pretend to love him back, he realized, because she felt sorry for him, or because she was lonely or something. And then he told himself he was awful to think she'd do that, but the prospect terrified him far more than if they were always just friends, but always honest. In the end, he just smiled back. "You're welcome, Shaye."

A smile came over Sapphy as she heard her name -- a kind of smile she hadn't felt since she lamented to Race that she loved to dance.
She couldn't remember the last time she danced, either.
"I've missed that name," she said softly. "I'm nothin' like my nickname."

"Do you like it better?" he asked. "You could always switch back." He remembered when they'd first met, when he always called her Sapphire. When they went to the race together. The memory of that night was so sweet and so incredibly distant that it ached to recall it.

Sapphy shrugged.
"The nicknames have their benefits."

He wondered what she meant by that, but he just nodded and ate his pasta in silence for a while. There was something on Sapphy's mind, and maybe it would never get any further than that, but he figured he'd at least give her an opening.

Sapphy pressed her lips together, looking down at her food as she see tried to will an appetite. But it was slowly floating away.
Before she could think, she heard the words come spilling out of her mouth.
"Have you ever thought about how you're to die, Race?"
