<br/>Colin smiled as the woman spoke so perfectly. Her words careful but precise in their meaning without losing any of her tone. She did not back down from him and this finally cracked an actual smile on his face. There was fire in her eyes even as she stayed composed in her speech. She was exactly what he had hoped she would be. Even as the rest of the room seemed to sigh all at once with relief, relief was not what Colin felt. His heart was pounding in his chest as adrenaline burned through his veins. It had been awhile since he felt this rush with someone. He wanted more time with her to continue their verbal sparring but that would come later. Her initial response was accurate, she would be leaving this meeting his wife.<br/><br/><br/>As a lawyer slid the tablet in front of him hoping he got the hint to not press his luck. For the first time since he sat down his eyes broke their gaze from Eveline as he looked at the lawyer. His smile quickly faded and his eyes burned at the man who was only trying to keep Colin out of legal hot water. Quickly scrolling through the paperwork on the genetic match statistics, the usual contract he had seen once before with his first wife. The attached addendum's about the second wife agreements and legal rights. Looking to the man on the holographic screen, who was looking rather annoyed at this point, Colin made his official statement for the record.<br/><br/><br/>"Everything appears in order. I have no objections."<br/><br/><br/>He pressed his thumb against the sensor pad on the tablet. The finger print scan wasn't the annoying part of these digital signatures, it was the minor pin prick at the end. A DNA scan was confirmed and tied to the fingerprint. It took a matching set to confirm identity and make the signature legal. Handing the tablet to the lawyer who quickly wiped the sensor clean and walked towards the other end of the table. Gloria leaned in and handed him a small damp cloth. He wiped his finger and wiped away any stray blood and the chemical on the cloth immediately healed the skin. Tossing the cloth in the trash he turned his attention to Gloria.<br/><br/><br/>"That was fun." A smile crossing his lips.<br/><br/><br/>Whispering back Gloria did her best to stay professional in tone, "If you say so. Thanks for not getting in trouble. I kind of like my job and don't feel like looking for a new one." Gloria sat back as Colin smirked at her comment and straightened in his chair.<br/><br/><br/>Turning his attention back to Eveline. If she was going to refuse this was her last chance to do so. All attention was on her and Colin was pretty sure her father had stopped breathing again. Colin knew she wouldn't refuse. She would sign, everyone would be dismissed, Colin would shake all the necessary hands and then of course he needed to inform his wife of the new person who would now be living with them.
