Echo simultaneously blushed and scowled. Why did random people ask her if she wanted to have sex with some guy or other? Did she need to get 'Not interested' stamped on her forehead?
"No," she said politely but firmly, shifting her posture as she tried not to hunch her shoulders defensively. "He was nice to me, that was all. I offered to buy him a sandwich because I felt bad abut eating in front of him, but he said no. He mentioned you, actually."
The difference in skin color didn't really faze her. After inheriting Papa's Wolf genes, Echo would have felt like a complete hypocrite if she'd pointed it out. Family was what you made for yourself, it wasn't limited to DNA.
"Do you work here in Searchlight?" she asked. "I don't think I've seen you in the grocery store or anything."
