Unfortunately, Luke is a clever one. He narrows his eyes at her. "Haven't seen her, you say. Have you had any other contact with her?"
"No, of course not," says Darcy scathingly, and this one is a lie. Hey, if he's going to lie, she has no problem doing the same to him.
Luke sighs theatrically. "If you're going to brand me a liar, the least you could do is not make yourself a hypocrite."
Oh, he's good. She knows she's pretty great at lying convincingly. "You caught me," she says. She grins at him, insincere and enjoying herself, and takes a drink from her latte.
"So?" he prods. "Can't you please help me out? Even just a clue! I'd be happy to go on my knees and beg, if it would make a difference." He pauses. "Would it?"
Darcy's grin turns genuine. She rather likes the visual he's giving her -- this proud and clever and tricky and desperate man on the floor in front of her. "Maybe," she drawls. "Care to find out?"
