Thinking about buying another bar in ~~New York.~~

Another one? Any particular reason?

Just feel like going back to the basics.

...I see. Did you have your eye on any place in particular?

There's a couple possibilities, but nothing that really stuck.

Is this going to be like Victrola, or did you have something else in mind?

If I can't find something that has a distinct personality of it's own already, then yes, this will be like Victrola.

Have you been to any of the bars around here lately? They're all the same.

No, I can't say I've been frequenting them.

I don't frequent them exactly, it's just...nice to get out of the house some nights.

So, does this mean you'll be staying in New York for a while?

Trouble in paradise?

Probably.

~~Yes.~~ No, no. It's just....I spend most of my life being Mrs. Carter Baizen. It's nice to get away from that once in a while.

Good.

~~Elaborate?~~ I can't imagine you spending your life being Mrs. Anyone.

~~The same old argument. Over and over. He wants kids, and he wants them now.~~

Neither could I. Now, however, I can imagine it quite well.

~~And you don't, I'm assuming.~~

It seems a loss.

~~Maybe someday, but why be in such a rush? Lily had children young, granted she was younger than I am, but look how that turned out.~~

Really? Carter doesn't seem to think he's lost anything.

~~True.~~

He's an idiot.

He's....busy.

He's an idiot.

Maybe he is, but he's all I've got.

Saying that makes you an idiot as well.

You always did know how to sweet talk a girl.

You always did hate it when I tried to sweet talk you.

That's because your attempts at sweet talk were always far more perverted than they should be.

You enjoyed it.

Probably more than I should have.

*smirks* Of course.

Looks down, trying to hide a smile. I guess you're right, then. I am an idiot.

Obviously, you married him.

I didn't see anybody else waiting.

You should have looked harder.

For anybody in particular?

You should know who.

And you should know who I was hoping for. He just...never showed up.

Perhaps he didn't feel he could.

Then I'm not the only idiot. He was always the one I wanted.

You own bars in New York?
