Episode 139: Visions Of Paradise

"There’s nothing that can be done on that right now, let’s give it a few days. We’ll talk later," Curran Gable said shaking the hand of a man in a gray suit before taking off across the street from the hotel where he renewed his vows. "Lila!"

She twirled around in her faux Burberry trench and the matching hat nearly flying off her head in the process. He instinctively put his hand up on her hair to prevent such a disaster and Lila’s own hand landed on top of his. She removed hers, slowly.

"Adorable hat," Curran commented taking his leisurely time righting it upon her head. "Don’t tell anyone I told you this but somehow when the wife puts on a hat suddenly it’s like I’m married to the bloody Queen of England, it’s a fright." He laughed.

"My lips are sealed," Lila smiled, it was her flirty smile which, technically she hadn’t intended on deploying. Curran brought that sort of thing out in even the best intentioned.

"I doubt that’s a promise you can keep but cheers for trying," he replied, as a limousine pulled up. "Well it’s not yellow and it doesn’t smell like soiled socks but how will this do for a lift home, madam?"

"Oh you’re kidding me right?" Lila looked like a kid who finally got that Christmas present she’d been waiting, oh, her entire life for. This was better than when Sebastian paid her rent.

"There’s no point in having the wealth if you can’t spread it around a little, especially if I can get a reaction like that. My driver will take you anywhere you need to go, just say the word," Curran grinned. "Though you look like your tongue’s been caught."

He shoveled her into the limousine, dazed and delighted as she was. They said their polite goodbyes, though she was barely a participant. Having slightly gained her composure she spotted a cell phone and knew she just had to call somebody and tell them. She knew Bowie wouldn’t get it, not that his name exactly crossed her mind, she dialed Sebastian’s number.
