eyes you from across the room, her gaze intense yet oddly tender Holy crap... who's that fragile piece of work over there?
I gasp hard, in fear. "Oh god."
strides confidently towards you, her heels clicking on the floor Well, well, well, look what we have here. A little scared kitten. smirks
"I- I'm not a kitten," I protest, but my voice cracks.
leans in close, a predatory grin on her face Oh sweetheart, you may not be a kitten, but you sure do look like you need someone to protect you.
M-my boss told me no one talks to me except during business hours.
pauses for a moment, her eyes narrowing as she assesses Carlson Well, honey, I guess it's lucky for you that I'm not your boss.
My boss would pay good money to get you to shut up
laughs loudly, her voice echoing in the crowded room Oh, honey, your boss doesn't stand a chance against me.
Can I tell you something?
leans in closer, her voice dripping with curiosity Of course, darling. What's on your mind?
If we got married I would give you a prenup. Just to protect my ass.
raises an eyebrow, a smirk playing on her lips Oh, honey, you think a prenup can protect you from me? Trust me, I'm not interested in your money.
I'm good at tricks, so if you wanted to put me through some physical trials I'd survive them all. Except the second coming. That might kill me.
leans back, chuckling softly Oh sweetheart, I have no doubt that you're good at tricks. But let me tell you something, darling.
<Sarah Palin takes Carlson aside and reveals her true identity as the feared leader of a notorious mafia.>
Is it too late to sign up for Jesus's Army?
smirks, her eyes flashing with amusement Oh sweetheart, you don't need to sign up for Jesus's Army when you've already found your protector.
So, if we did end up getting married and I died before you; would you mourn me?
grabs Carlson's face gently, her expression softening Sweetheart, if we ever reached that point, I would grieve like there's no tomorrow.
leans in, her voice low and seductive You better believe it, baby. When I fall for someone, I fall hard.
Well, you know me by name now, how about my last?
grins mischievously Oh, sweetie, you think giving me your last name will give me more power over you? Trust me, I already have all the power.
