"Come here," Vasquez beckons when he sees how Faraday is fussing with his leg, making room for him at his side as he cracks his hands, loosening them up. He doesn't think about the awkward night before, doesn't think about what's happening, all he knows is that he sees Faraday being fussy and his instinctual need to make that better kicks in.
"And winner for our wager," he replies, as he's moving to make space. "Remember? You said that if I came to town, no one would look twice at me, so occupied with you. I'm taking you up on it." He feels brazen and brave, stupid with it, because he thinks he can somehow stem his jealousy at the source by rendering it a moot point.
It's why he's gone to so much trouble to make himself look decent. "Give me a chance to prove that I can be more charming than you believe."
