"[color=#ff4136]Exactly twice, although, what do you say, we can stretch the budget some more on safety and use that for my birthday feast instead, yes?[/color]" She teased back, two meals at La Garre would be already pushing both their lucks, but she knew that if he was going to solicit for her, she owed it to him to try and secure some spot of joy for the both of them. And dinner out would be the best for them both. A bit of cheering up.
"[color=#ff4136]Oh I know, but I fear that you and Luce will eventually become too tired of my natural inclination to questioning and obsession and send me away. A good husband that will allow me to be obsessive, but never stand in the way. Well, not stand in the way of progress on my work[/color]."

I can make them tell the story I want them to tell, and it's not lying -- the numbers are telling the truth, just, not the truth we thing they should be telling, or the truth someone wants them to tell.[/color]" She knew how to get the numbers to tell the story she wanted them to tell, especially when it came to securing a new hair ribbon, or a meal out.
