Annabelle Carmichael left her father's factory, extremely irritated and annoyed. She had met him for lunch and he had been giving her a headache about finally choosing a suitor.
And it wasn't the same "I want to find someone to take care of my Princess, Anna" or "I want to make sure I can find someone trustworthy to leave my life earnings too". No, this time, it was "My factories are closing, I'm losing money, marry up" which put a ton of pressure on her.
And she was trying. She really was. Annabelle giggled and dressed her prettiest and courted all the most eligible bachelors in New York City. But they all bored her and she bored all of them. And, she was still a bit jaded from her failed engagement with Jesse. She was still deeply embarrassed about it- it brought a ton of shame to their family, so instead they told everyone he died- and she was very distrustful of men.
Sighing, she passed by a bar, The Black Stallion, and scrunched her nose up at the awful smell of it. But she considered going in. Nobody would know her in there, and maybe she can try something a bit stronger than her usual glass of wine.

Pasha walked outside of the factory, dressed in his best after successfully securing a job on the manufacturing floor. He spotted an attractive blonde in front of him and grinned. Remembering the conversation he had with Eli a few nights before, he carefully approached her. "Excuse me, miss. I think you may have dropped this," he said as convincingly as possible. Before she could look, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a white handkerchief.

Annabelle tilted her head at the stranger. "Did I?" she asked, checking herself. She found her handkerchief in her bosom, and smiled at him. "guess it isn't mine."

"Oh, it isn't?" Pasha asked faking confusion. "I thought I saw this get caught in a slight breeze and flutter away from you." He shrugged and went to shove the handkerchief back in his pocket. "I guess I should go and find the beuatiful girl this belongs to then, da?"

Annabelle raised her brow. The man didnt know who she was, he just thought she was beautiful...
"Or...that beautiful girl can be me." she replied with a smile.

"Oh, can it?" Pasha asked with a grin, giving her a playful arch of his eyebrow. He shrugged doubtfully, trying his best to keep a straight face. "Oh, I don't know.... You already said it was not you."
He pulled the handkerchief out of his pocket and opened it again, carefully inspecting it. "Whoever lost this might be looking for it." If that 'whoever' happened to be his sister, the answer to that would be an immediate yes...

"It's just a hanky," Annabelle pointed out. "I got tons of them."

"You might have tons of them," Pasha began with a slight smirk, "but what if the owner of this one is not so lucky? Or what if this one is special?"
He shrugged and slipped it back into his pocket. He glanced over Annabelle's shoulder and immediately noticed that they were standing right in front of a bar. "How about I buy you a drink instead?"

"why not?" annabelle replied, with a smile. He was dressed pretty nicely. Not to her father's standards, but just a drink should be fine.

"Anything you want," Pasha added quickly. He approached the door and held it open for her. "After you, yes?" He looked her over carefully as she walked into the bar. She was beautiful, there was no denying that! Now, if only he could remember what Eli had said to him so she didn't leave in anger.

"Vodka," Pasha stated simply, the corners up his lips turned up into a grin. "Definitely vodka."

"Where are you from?" Annabelle asked him, finding his accent appealing. They were at the bar now and she leaned over the counter, looking around.
She should be scared here. Somehow she wasn't...

"Moscow," He answered proudly. He settled in on top of his barstool and looked over at her, still smiling. Forget all the girls he was trying to talk to at Irving Hall, she was the real deal! "Have you always lived here?"

"Yes," Annabelle answered, looking over at him. It was sort of thrilling to be at a bar like this. "My daddy owns the toy factory next door."
