Truce with cuttingedge

[have_no_mercy]

Tess hasn't been to the Ace of Clubs or seen Ryan Edge in person since she delivered the news of her pregnancy some months ago. She's been too busy being mad at him, among other things. Right now, however, she's too tired to be angry and too smart to keep a potential ally at odds.

So late this afternoon, she finds herself at aforementioned club, mood slightly brightened by the knowledge that a glare can still get her past all but the innermost security. And she even brought a peace offering.
