Sometimes the Society has to dabble a bit in espionage and under-cover work to find out who the bad guys are and strike at the heart of the problem. They have recently received information from a Medium in London, who received her information from a deceased young man of the upper crust. Someone is targeting well-to-do couples for indoctrination into a cult and, in at least one instance, then arranging for them to come to a very terminal end.
To find out what's going on, they need someone who can both infiltrate the group and protect themselves if and when things go to Hell in a hand-basket. At the moment, that means Annabelle is going to have to spend an evening or two posing as a proper lady.
This is not a thought that fills her with joy. However, if Connor was along....well, the whole affair might even end up being pleasant instead of a few steps up from torture.

"Love you, Connor."

"...stay with me?" she finally manages to get out.

Date: 2010-06-27 05:02 am (UTC)Well, he will, after a moment longer of cuddling, slide off the bed and look for it.
It must be all inside the room, right?

"Need a hand?" she asks, as she moves to pick up her dress from its current location on the floor.

He knows the look Connor has about him right now, for all that it's been years since it applied to him. He makes a 'you need to adjust this' gesture and gives Connor a knowing smile. "Be glad you didn't have to go through a second story window before and after," he says with a wink.
