Her eyes flash on the wine, and she wonders if she's forgotten some occasion. It definitely wouldn't be the first time, but she's confident at least that it isn't Pepper's birthday. It's nearing Christmas, and those diamond ads are back in full force... She'd be lying to herself if she said it didn't get her mind going all over again.
"Do you really believe in coincidences that serendipitous?" she teases, lips quirking up on one side as she spins her chair around to face him. She's learned how to compartmentalize. When it's Pepper time, she puts everything down now. It's helping them a lot, she thinks. Especially when Pepper does the same. No work emails are answered this time of night, no phone calls answered. It does a good deal towards easing her mind, and she knows his as well. Reading the label, she unconsciously licks her lips. It's been a long time since she drank, especially something that expensive. She wonders what she did to deserve such a treat.
