ELOISE
Eloise had gotten used to the ice of Jack's stares, but every now and then he offered her one of molten-steel that made her blood run cold. She could still smell his breath and feel the closeness of him when he'd nearly killed her on the beach, sporting a look eerily similar. His words silenced her in another way: Eloise knew she was pretty on the outside. She'd built a safety net based solely on that. But on the inside? Well, she'd never been that before.
"Today?" Eloise snipped back, her fingers subtly adjusting the sides of the ledgers so that they were even. Allowing herself to look appropriately surprised and bemused, the illusionist just smirked. "Maybe you are smarter than you look, Jack." She said, shaking her head slightly. Indeed, she had just thought his writing was shit; it had never occurred to her it might be a code.
The end of every day. Just another reason for the pair to be together and for their web of lives to seem all the more innocuous. "So while the Ark is gone and we're all at sea. Who manages all of your interests here?"
