Billy had pulled out all of the stops for this one. He was dressed in something resembling style and quality with slacks, a dress shirt and jacket... ok, he still had his hold-out, but when you run the shows, you always had a holdout... if nothing more. Still, he had made the effort tolook decent.<br/><br/>He liked Lace... more than he actually wanted to admit... and it wasn't because of the incredible VR sex of a few nights ago. He hadn't believed that sex in VR could be so real, nor that someone would go to the effort of creating a representation that responded like a virgin. He had assumed that it had just been her little fetish when he had felt resistance to the penetration, but he had tried to go easy on her when he had realized what it had meant. But, he had done it at all because he had been attracted to the RL Lace.... and face it, Sonya wasn't hard on the eyes in either place either.<br/><br/>He had stopped off at an actual florist and bought actual flowers... real, dying flowers... and the best bottle of what passed for red wine that he could find in the black market... he owed his fixer for that one!<br/><br/>He checked the time stamp and climbed the steps up to the door. He blinked and knocked. At the same time, he sent her a message.<br/><br/>"Let me in or I'll huff and puff and blow your house up.;)"
