"This?" Now he looked perplexed. "But there ain't any suckheads here, and I'm not hunting you..."
That he had to stop and consider. He'd liked her from the start, true. And he had always managed to show up where she was and have a good conversation. Dating hadn't even been on his mind; he'd just wanted to be near the beautiful, enigmatic woman with no memory. But if it was dating...was it much different from hunting?
Yeah, it had to be, he decided. When you hunted, you hunted lesser things and made sure they died. Dating involved finding an equal. Hunting got you a prize. Dating got you a partner.

"Steaks're up." Two plates appear in front of them, each with a loaded potato on the side. Ellen didn't just talk a big game when it came to pleasing the Irish. "Enjoy, and let me know if you need anything else." She cut Blade off before he could start. "Aside from your intel. It's coming, I promise. But if you're smart, you'll take this to one of those booths. Little more private there."
Ah. Yes. Private. The intel had to be passed on in private. That made sense. Blade stood, taking both plates as he nodded. Then he started for an empty booth.
