It was strange to think the people walking around were some years older than them. One thing that Ty knew without a doubt, they had no idea the couple watching them had saved their asses and all of New Orleans. That fact seemed to age him and Tandy a little. The divine pairing... He and Tandy had been told their fate and defied it. Ty felt warmed by that, even though he was living life in hiding.

"Tell me the truth... Did you ever go to a party just to have fun, not find a mark?" His voice was gentle and soft so only she could hear him. Maybe he was empowered by the alcohol he drank. The question popped up the minute Tandy had started to answer him. She was forcing herself to think of an answer rather than say what should've come naturally. Ty turned to meet her face to face, looking up slightly since she sat herself on the car trunk.

A small smile increased on his features as it had a tendency to do so when seeing her beautiful face. He was careful to keep the cup in hand out to the side but moved his other to perch on the small of her back. There might have been times when they first met that she found judgment in his stare but Tandy wouldn't find that now. Not in a long time. At least, that was how he felt when looking at her.
