"Randall? Oh, the guy I met in the rain!" 

She let out a laugh, both hands raising in surrender.

"Ok, I know how bad that sounds…but don’t you go coming to any conclusions. My life’s not exactly a romantic comedy!” she grinned.

He seemed nice, Randall Conn; a little sleazy, but nice. She didn’t know too much about him, but she mentioned his name to Alvin once and he went about as red as a firetruck. Couldn’t speak coherent sentences for a little while after, too.

Odette was relieved herself when Alvin accepted her request. "Oh thank you so much," she said.  She didn’t quite catch on at first, but realized he was asking her name. "Laguardia," she answered. "Odette Laguardia." Her last name screamed her ancestry. As if she didn’t look the part of being Italian. What with her olive skin, dark hair, and curvy figure.  Her thoughts were still on the dress. "This is very nice of you. If you’d like, I’ll let you come to the Ghost Glass for free tonight."

Alvin smiled, holding his hand out to her. "Well, Miss Laguardia, we'll have your dress like new in no time. You have my word."

He leaned back against the desk, only really half-listening to her and he might have simply let her wander on out with a simple "Have a nice day" but something she'd said made him perk up and he pulled himself up to his full height, forgetting to look casual.

"You work at the Ghost Glass?" A slow smile formed on his face. "Well, I'll be damned. I think I may have met your piano player the other day."

Alvin looked up from the pile of paperwork he’d been sorting. To be honest, he really had no goddamn clue what the hell he was doing with the stuff. It wasn’t like he completely understood the numbers game that made up the business part of the dry cleaners. He usually left that up to Robbie or Babette.

"That’s the name. How can I help you?" He set the papers down and stood up, brow furrowed. It wasn’t often he had a dame wander into his office and set him on high alert.

Even if it was his shitty fake front office.

((I love these questions alsdkfj XD))
