[ she smiles at that -- her big smile, the real one that renee gets to see more than anyone else does. it comes naturally when they're together. maybe because for once, she feels like there's someone she doesn't have to pin and tie down to make them be around her -- not like frank, and not like her husband before him. ]
It better not be. I was startin' t'think y'actually like hangin' out with me.
[ she loves that, hearing the lightness in renee's voice and seeing her grin. it's important somehow. she and madison had been so miserable together, despite how much she'd cared about him -- so it means something, to be able to make another person smile like that. she was starting to think she couldn't anymore. ]
Y'remember that night at the bar? I swear I was half-ready t'get in a fist fight with you if y'tried arrestin' me. Funny how things work out, ain't it.
[ lil pauses as the waiter brings their order, glancing down at her food before she responds. the salmon smells delicious. she tucks her napkin into her nap absently before picking up her knife and fork. ]
After y'takin' me out like this? I'd have t'let you win.

[ Her voice is light as she teases Lil. Renee grins, feeling surprisingly carefree for once. ]

Never too late. We can always save the fist fight for after we eat.

Yeah? Well, y'got me. [ mildly teasing, as she cuts off a little piece of her salmon: ] I surrender, Officer. Please be gentle.
