He sighed, rubbing at his forehead.
"This wasn't exactly the way I wanted people to learn about you."

"People can't learn about me Tony" she looked him straight in the eye "I'm dead."
Rubbing her face, she sighed.

"You know what I mean. People like Pepper, who'd run into you eventually. She's going to see whatever article that'll get written and get the wrong idea."

"I'm not one of your floozies, I'm sure Pepper will be fine.. once she meets me" Jess shook her head "Look that paper is going to bring some shit down on me, some serious shit, I may be just mystery girl in writing, but my face, even part of it, is going to bring up some memories."
She closed her eyes, and prayed that anyone she knew in Paris didn't read the paper, or was out of town in time for the paper to be printed.

He reached across the table and took her hand.
"I know you're not. And whatever happens from this paparazzi business, it'll have to take me into the equation."

Jess allowed a small smile to come to her face and squeezed his hand.
"Thanks."

"How is it that no matter the situation you always seem to make me blush?"

Leaning back she took him fully in to view.
She was really doing this, she was really allowing herself to get in to some sort of unspoken official relationship, with another super heroic billionaire playboy with more issues than she could count. She knew that it would end up badly, and she knew, after that paper was published she was going to have to go to Bruce and explain everything.
The thought itself was enough to make her a little queasy.

If there was a time to really use whatever he pull he had, now would be good. Unfortunately, he didn't have any influence on Le Parisien, and in any case they would likely publish whatever story no matter what it was. He'd rather they didn't, for Jess' sake--who knew just what kind of damage the newspaper could cause just by showing a picture of her.
Because she was supposed to be dead.
"I'm sorry. I wish I'd been a bit more aware of our surroundings."
It was really the only thing he could do.

"Don't worry about it Tony, I've been in Paris for a week now, although I really thought I'd be able to slip under the radar. It was only a matter of time, I tried to explain to the museum that it was a really bad idea to send me to Paris. But it's my first assignment" she shrugged "I can't stay upset."

"You're right, it would've only been a matter of time. I just can't help thinking I made it happen faster than it should have."

"I kissed you remember? I called you, remember?" She chuckled "So don't you worry your gorgeous head off, everything will be all right."

His grin turned playful.
"How could I forget? I'll put it out of my mind, then...darlin'."
