"So who is Surreal?"

"She’s our star attraction."

"Is she any good?"

She smirks at me, raises an eyebrow and repeats her statement. "She’s our Star attraction!"

I laugh. "I saw her banner. She must be really good."

"She’s our ...."

I hold my hand up and stop her, laughing with her.

"Did you dance with her?"

"I did."

"What can you tell me about her?"

"Nothing."

I tip my head and say. "Now come on."

She laughs. "I’m not at liberty to discuss her."

I slide six chips her way and raise my eyebrows with a smirk on my face.

She takes the chips. "Thank you. That’s very generous of you."

"I just want to know how good she is."

She eyes me. "Are you a reporter, a blogger or ...." She stops short of saying it.

"A stalker?" I laugh at that. "Do I look like a stalker?"

She stays serious. "No, but a girl can’t be too careful. Why are you asking?"

"It’s business, not personal."

She studies me. "An agent?"

"An investor."

"Ah!" She says, knowing that’s the truth.

I stand up, pull my money clip out, and find a business card to give her.

She looks at it and says. "She’s the STAR attraction because she is unbelievably awesome at what she does."

I chuckle. "Is that the only answer I’m going to get out of you?"

She grins, then says. "I truly can’t tell you anything other than that because I don’t know anything other than that."

"But you danced with her."

"Yes. I did."

The cocktail waitress returns and I tip her, then ask her. "Who is Surreal?"
