andhiswife: (do it for me?)

It's a beautiful name, and she wishes she didn't know it. Why did she ask? Maybe Rush will forget this, too, but she knows better than to trust to luck. If he does remember, he'll resent her for prying, for taking advantage of how forthcoming he is right now, and how easy he's made it for her. She hums in acknowledgment of his bland commentary about the punch, but she knows she can't just keep up a light conversation with him. This is wrong.

She has to tell him something. Not about his wife - she won't touch that subject again if she can avoid it - but if there's the smallest chance he'll remember this, she has to put an end to it.

"Rush," she begins, forcing herself to turn and face him directly, "this might sound mad, but you ought to know..." she hesitates; he ought to know a whole slew of things, so many it's hard to know where to begin. "I think, perhaps, you've forgotten some things." She watches him carefully, hoping for recognition, expecting scorn. "I think you've forgotten... quite a lot, actually. Like me, for example; we've known each other for months. We're in Manhattan. We're both friends with Iman Asadi. Does any of that sound familiar?"
