Svetlana looked at him, a surprised look on her face. "You do not," she asked quickly. "How is that so? I cannot believe that!" She laughed and quickly shook her head. "I think you are playing jokes on me."

Leo gave her a confused look. "I am not lying."

"You really do not have a girlfriend?" She asked, still in a slight state of surprise. "But, how can that be?"

"I work very hard," Leo told her, his smile gone now. "The women in this city...many are not for me." He shrugged, filling up a glass of beer for a man and handing it to him. "They either want a rich husband, or just someone to take to bed."

Svetlana couldn't help but notice that his smile had left his face. "I am sorry I asked," she apologized softly. "Those girls, they do not what they are missing."

"you are very sweet," Leo replied sincerely, the smile back on his face. "but even I don't know what they are missing anymore."

"I think that is sad," Svetlana replied honestly, her shoulders giving him a small shrug. "I know I do not know you well, but you seem nice. Also, you work hard. Those are two most important things for a girl to look for.... if you ask me."

"Well then I am glad I got to meet you. Do you want a job? In the back they are hiring women to sew costumes. Maybe you can do that." Leo offered, tossing away old bottles of liquor and replacing them with new ones.

"Do you think I could?" Svetlana asked eagerly. She wasn't too sure how her brother would handle this, but as far as she was concerned, what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him. "I am out of practice just a little, but I am sure I could do it." She paused, biting her lower lip softly. "This would not be of any trouble to you?"

"of course not. I am not in the business of going out of my way for anyone," Leo told her, although that wasn't true. There was something about this girl that really made him wanna do all he could do make her happy. "I'll grab you an application, stay right here." he wandered off backstage and showed up again with a sheet of paper and a pencil.

"Thank you," she replied with a laugh, a very surprised look on her face. She chewed on her lower lip as she carefully filled out the application, her mind racing as she also tried to figure out why this relative stranger was being so nice to her.
"You do this for all the girls, don't you?" she asked playfully, setting her pencil down.

Leo blushed, shaking his head. "it is not a big deal. It was right in the back." he shrugged. "I wish someone reached out to me when I was first on my own in new York."

"Well... this is very nice of you," Svetlana replied shyly. She looked over the application once more before sliding it back across the bar to him.
"I... I don't really know what to say," she admitted with a laugh. SH elooked back up at him and carefully swept the hair from in front of her eyes. "Thank you."

"I'll hand this to Medda myself," he told her, sticking the application in his back pocket. "so you do not think your brother will be happy if you got a job?"

"If he finds out, he will be furious," Svetlana said with a quick laugh. "He wants me to stay home until I am married." She stopped and rolled her eyes at the thought of it. "I do not want that. I want to be out. I want to meet people."
She rested her elbow on the bar and then let her chin come to rest in the palm of her hand. "He is gone a lot of the time anyway. It will be weeks, maybe months, before he finds out."
