"Good. That was the whole point of coming early. Seeing you," Lara replies, dropping all behavior that might suggest she's going to leave early and stay somewhere else. When he says he was definitely been looking forward to seeing her, her grin softens and she feels almost self-conscious.
"Even after everything in Peru and Paititi?" She still has to ask, Diego. She knows full well who he is, what he's capable of. But it doesn't hurt to make sure. She had to do a lot of terrible things to terrible people, they both did, and none of it scared Diego off.
Somewhere, in the back of her head, her butler Hillary is saying in his stuffy voice that Diego might possibly be a keeper.
A faint 'lead the way' gesture from Lara and she starts moving towards the house, looking up at it and noting movement behind one of the curtains.
"We might have been seen already." She doesn't sound bothered.
"I have to admit, I thought we'd eventually lose contact and never see each other again. You've no idea how glad I was when you texted me about the Gala. I was practically packing my things while we spoke."
