Ocober (ii)

----------
"Aren't most romance heros, or heros in fiction of any kind, generally superior to real men? Same goes for heroines and real women."
-Nora Roberts

"I don't like to search too much. I find it is easier when romance finds you."
-Michelle Trachtenberg
----------
Alex was going to meet up with her future at a toga party. Fanfare Farm, that is. They'd talk about business and decide if they wanted to hire her or not. She wasn't nervous, she'd stopped being nervous years ago. She could look pretty and smile her most charming smile, the kind that made men think indecent thoughts, under the most enormous pressure. That was one good thing that came from being a performer.

She wasn't so sure about meeting her future employers while wearing a toga. More appropriately, a sheet made to look vaguely like a toga. As she left her hotel room, a cheap place, full of swirling clouds of cheap perfume and cigarette smoke, she held her head up though. Tame Tiger Alex on the outside, refined and sophisticated, but Wild Tiger on the inside. Her eyes were hard and determined, brown turned to steel. The tiger girl with the steel eyes.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she was okay. A crowd of people pretending to be things they aren't, smiling smiles that were not their's and laughing laughs new to even their ears. She knew this world. She could pretend to be a happy and smile nice and pretty, too. She had a lot of practice. Even when inside she was beaten and broken, she could smile.

There was one person there with a real smile. She could tell. It was all in the eyes. The little creases beside each eye and the particular glimmer of happiness showed that it was real. Really real. As true as truth.

It didn't hurt that he was handsome, too. So she walked over, chin up, with her steel eyes. He grinned, slightly crookedly, at her. "Hello ma'am, I'm Seth."

She smiled back, a real one, not the fake smile that she'd used for years, "I'm Alex. Alex Parker."

"Nice to meet you, Alex."

And she could tell it was the start. The start of her new life. All Wild Tiger Alex. Tame Tiger Alex was dead.
