— sure it was midday on a tuesday, but pre-game time was all the time in taja’s mind. and yeah, maybe her idea of a “mimosa” might’ve been a straight glass of champagne with a drop of orange juice for good nature, but it was the thought that counted, right? her microbraids pulled back, she adjusted her sunglasses before taking a substantial sip of her drink. the restaurant patio’s typical clientele buzzed around her, and she couldn’t help but feel completely in her element ( even if that did imply daydrinking ).
Blake stepped into the restaurant for the first time and realized just how much he didn’t fit in. For one, it seemed to be a social scene more than anything else, with everyone around him either in pairs or in groups. He, however, was alone — which wasn’t unusual to those who knew him, but in that moment it felt like it was. Despite the fact that everyone was too wrapped in their conversation to notice his gangly, sullen figure, Blake suddenly felt self-conscious of himself. Glancing around, his gaze fell upon the only other person in the area who wasn’t engaged in a conversation, and didn’t seem to be, and made his way towards them. “You shouldn’t be drinking alone,” he said, hovering nearby instead of sitting down in the empty seat. “Or in the middle of the day.”
