Well, after our date went sour he threw himself from his penthouse. I thought they'd hose him off the asphalt and that'd be it, but...his body was never found, and a while later, he resurfaced. Put his fortune back together. 'Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated, ha ha ha', all that bullshit. Since then...it's not like I've got anything on him that'd stand up in court, so we've just been kinda....circling each other from a distance. He hasn't lost interest, he wants me to know he's there, but it's been a long time since he's actually tried anything.
[And every time she tries looking into her family history he's there, looming out of the background, but that's so much more than she wants to seriously think about right now.]
