She was happy to just sit there and eat while Dani and the stranger discussed this so called "dig."<br/><br/>The quick glance she had given at the papers had shown her that it was well put together, but she was no lawyer and she wouldn't pass judgment without consultation first.  She chuckled while her sister gave this Stephan Schwartz the third degree.  Where Sophie was a bit trusting, Dani was the guard, she always went out of her way to make sure that no one or nothing hurt them.<br/><br/>She admitted to herself that it was reassuring, not being the one who had to protect them all.  But it just reminded her that she to had a job in the family, that she to had the responsibility of protecting her sisters.  Not the same way Dani did, but it was still important, hell poring over contracts, and dealing with the business side of the family was just as important as anything else.  This time though, Dani had it under control, and she saw no need to step in and take over the situation.  Hell even if she did she would be put in her place, when it came to things like this they had to hold a strong front, Dani was the responsible one, Dani was the one who protected them all, and so when it came to who was the leader of them it would of course be Dani.  It had been a bane when she was a teenager, but now she was happy to shrug off that responsibility.<br/><br/>"Maybe he want's to tear down the house, you know it wouldn't surprise me a bit."  She couldn't help it, she had a mischievous mind and she wanted to see this man squirm.<br/><br/>Recrossing her long legs she leaned forward, unknowingly allowing some cleavage to show through her sheer top.  She couldn't wait to see how this Stephan character held himself against the Callaway guard.<br/>
