((yep. Eli is a lot older than her. Prob why he didn't wanna tell her he loved her))
Eli grabbed the bottle away from her, and grabbed her arm, dragging her away from the bar. "Calm DOWN, Trix! I haven't visited a brothel since I met you! Haven't needed to. God. Take a deep breath, will you?"
Luke was trying to calm Lottie down, and shooting death glares at Eli.

She tore her arm away. "And how am I supposed to believe you, huh? You totally lost your shit when ya found out what I used to do! But apparently that kinda job wasn't so bad when ya needed to shove your dick somewhere!"

"I didn't totally lose it, Trixie," Eli told her calmly, crossing his arms over his chest. "Yeah. It bothered me. So what. I had no respect for those girls and for a second, had no respect for you. And I didn't want that for you. For us."

That nearly broke her down, and her eyes welled up, croaking out. "You don't respect me?"

Eli rolled his eyes. "I do respect you, Trix. Always have, always will. Unless you go get belligerently intoxicated right now. Then your respect is down the drain for tonight."

She looked at him a long time before finally saying, "Take me home, Eli. Lottie can take Luke up to her room tonight. I want you to take me home."

"Okay, okay," Eli agreed. "Go change and get your coat." He grabbed his own, slipping it on and glancing at Luke and Lottie, who seemed to have already worked it out.
Either Luke was a better talker than Eli, or they really were meant to be.

She came back a few minutes later, in a simple cream-colored dress, brown coat wrapped tightly around her. She stopped and asked Lottie and Luke if it was alright if she and Eli had the bedroom, and Lottie shooed her off, taking Luke upstairs to her room.
Trixie walked up to Eli, calmer now, and looking embarrassed. "Okay."

Eli paused, looking at her, eyebrow raised. "Okay."

She sighed, taking his hand. "Eli, I--I'm sorry I yelled..."

Eli nodded, accepting her apology and squeezing her hand. "You gotta work on that temper, Kitten," he suggested with a sigh. "I'm a guy. Visiting a brothel once and a while shouldnt be that surprising ot you."

She looked down, biting her lip. "I just--I felt so bad, ya know. About what I used to do. I--I didn't think I deserved to be with a nice guy like you after all that. Then to find out you used to go to those places...it...it shattered by picture of you a little, I guess..."

Eli had to laugh at that. "A good guy? I steal and manipulate and sneak into stuff all the time! I'm constantly breaking the law! How does that make me good!"

She lifted her eyes up to his, saying in a small voice, "You treated me good."

"And I always will, Sunshine," Eli said, kissing the top of her head. "You deserve to be treated well by everyone. Most of all the guy you're in love with. Right?"
