He started going on about the pretty thing again though and once more threatened to leave her speechless. He really was an odd duck for this town and maybe even a genuinely good man which made him even more rare. He was handsome too and tall but with his yellow hair and blue eyes, he couldn't look more different from her. If he meant what he said, it would be right nice to know there was somebody in town who might look forward to running into her on the street and would be good for a jaw when she had the urge for one.<br/><br/>But then what? Sooner or later somebody would say something about how she was the daughter of whore and never knew the Chinaman that sired her. How she'd spent most of her childhood as street trash and now was likely whoring at some miner's camp. And even if they got past all that, would he ever understand why she'd itch her wagon to some outlaw gang about which he probably believed every damn rumor he heard? No, it didn't seem likely a good man wouldn't mind about all that.<br/><br/>"I expect I should probably mosey along. The men get much drunker and they'll be grabbing at anything female whether she works here or not," Lilah said, and it was true. That was one thing she had an instinct for, when to get out. She'd earned it the hard way. "Thank you for breakin' bread with me, Reid Lawson. Gomorra ain't so big a place that I expect we'll be seein' each other again."<br/><br/>She flashed him a rare genuine smile. "You enjoy that fresh bed of yours. I never did know of a man to rent a room for that purpose but I can see the appeal." She wasn't one for big goodbyes so she just gave him a nod and threaded her way carefully through the crowd and out the door.<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><em>End Scene for Lilah</em></span></div>
