White’s Turn?
White: Queen's Rook's Pawn a4>a5
Ingrid shuffled in place tapped her foot against the ground, her cheeks burning a bright red as she was flustered at both this stranger's proposition and the implications if she refused. The young Swede thought it over for a few seconds before the distinct and familiar 'click-clack' of her heels swiftly followed after Charles.
"W-wait, hold on!" Ingrid shouted as she caught up to the man just before he began to turn into the alley.
"Oh? I thought you weren't interested in coming along with a man such as myself," Charles feigned his surprise.
"It's not that, it's just... are you sure this is the way there?" Ingrid asked as she peered into the dark alley. She could see a few ladders and trash containers down the brick alley before it made a turn somewhere behind the buildings, where the exit was she had no idea. The more she looked into the seeming abyss, the more she unconsciously began to move closer to Charles, letting him drape an arm over her shoulder as she sought some form of protection and comfort.
"Oh absolutely, it's just a short bit through here and on the other side is the club!" Charles enthusiastically massaged the definition of 'short' and glossed over that the alley split off into several dead ends if one took the wrong turns. He had to stop himself from imagining chasing her down one of those dead ends after giving her a head start, he needed to keep his focus, "You want to come with me?"
The way Ingrid nodded and hugged him tight though while she... was she really trembling? Oh this was perfect, it seemed Charles had her hook, line, and sinker as he began to lead her down the dark alley, his gaze briefly scanning behind him as he walked to see if the one onlooker, or any others, had followed as well. Regardless of what he saw, there was no mistaking his wide mischievous grin before he turned back and disappeared into the alley with his prey in tow.
