“My kind?” Daniel echoed her words with a laugh. Despite questioning it, he had some idea what she meant. After all, he was a man who knew a little value in appearance could go a long way, tonight was evident enough of that. However, his appearance was more for work related success than to pick up women at bars and parties. The fact that the two overlapped just happened to be a nice bonus. “I doubt that. Mainly because I wasn’t lying in saying I don’t get out much.” he smirked with a small shake of his head. 

Her flinch to his words didn’t go unnoticed. It wasn’t either of the reactions that Daniel had been expecting from her. To add to it, her reply was a bit ominous to match despite still having a smile on her face. Perhaps she’s thinking of an ex..  He thought with a small sip from his nearly finished drink. Whatever the reason, he made a mental note about her reaction. He’d have to make sure to avoid such topics unless he thought it advantageous to dig for more information from her. As she went on with a more lighthearted response, he put on another smile and acted as if her previous reaction hadn’t caused raised any eyebrows.

Daniel chuckled as she rebranded their meeting into a Hallmark special. “I can work with that. Certainly makes me sound better, much more like a knight in shining armor. And since it’s not some Nicholas Sparks shit the chances of either of us ending up in a coma or worse are at least low.” he said amusedly. It was a much more selfless take on what had transpired to say the least. Daniel was well aware of that but he couldn’t help but entertain the thought of him coming to the rescue for a second longer. Lifting his drink to his lips he took another sip before looking at her with a curious glint in his gaze.

“Alright I got an important question.” He began as he set down the glass once more. “If we’re going Hallmark special, what actress would you want to play you?” It was a silly question but it was a way of getting to know her better. At the very least, it was a way of peaking into the type of media that interested.
