[ aaand she looks at the number, scowls, and lets it ring. ]

[ ugh okay fine. She does want to talk to him, but she doesn't want to seem eager. This is a delicate situation at best. ]

Virginia Potts. How can I help you?

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Virginia?

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

[ deadpan on this end. She's still at her desk, post-it notes attached to every available surface ]

Yes, James. Virginia. My name. Virginia Potts-Hogan.

Nice of you to finally return my calls.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Right.

I was just returning the favour from the other week.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

Have you gotten it out of your system, then?

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

... To an extent.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

Then that makes two of us.

[ she pauses, biting the inside of her cheek ]

I haven't changed my mind.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

I didn't think you would.



I can't be a part of it.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

I never asked you to be. I wouldn't do that to you.

[ she sighs, some of the frost filtering out of her voice ]

If you don't want the child to know you, I more than respect that.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

I don't. I can't.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

That's why I'm not even asking. I know.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

I know.

I can't, Pep. It's not safe.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

What is safe anymore?

I don't live the life you do, but I have problems of my own. [ her voice lowers, soft and bitter ] Why do you think I lost the first one?

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Hn. Which was because of Stark, was it not?

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

Indirectly.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Exactly.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

What are you trying to say?

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

Nothing much.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

Bull.

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

... I don't make friends easily.

[behisgirlfriday.livejournal.com]

Are you saying that you don't trust Tony?

[doubleoohbaby.livejournal.com]

I don't trust everyone else.
