I love her, but she's kind of... variable. From her point of view, Conrad's self-involved reaction to her sitting at his table initiated the rest of the conversation.

Beautifully written. I think this was the week we all decided to visit the "real world" and human relationships and give the supernatural a rest! (At least, that's what intentionally did.) "Annie" made me uncomfortable -- not a little bit manipulative there, using Conrad. She's implying that something is wrong with him being in finance, implying that he might be dishonest, but she was completely dishonest herself. I wonder what she would have said if the person at the table was a little old lady? Probably would have told her the truth. Which leads one to think, she was also flirting and testing Conrad for possibilities.... Just one of those encounters of life that makes you wonder. Great story, Andrew! Wow, a great short story.

Great story, Andrew!
