Truth be told, despite hearing about this place endlessly it seemed, he had never spent an evening out at My Alibi. It was much larger than heād expected, and more filled with people, but the atmosphere seemed nice enough. Heading straight for the bar, he sent Sebastian a quick text of where he was and where to meet him. Having no idea how this evening would go, because itās pretty apparent the two are very different people, Sam wasnāt sure what to expect. So he wasnāt expecting much of anything.Ā
A night out would be good for Sam though. The previous few weeks have been hectic with everything going on, and even more so now that another death had taken place. Someone he knew. So vaguely, a friend of a friend of a friend from years ago, but still just as devastating. He was stressed out - and that was something that didnāt happen very often. Before he realized it, he had already finished his first drink just while waiting, so he ordered another. Pacing himself didnāt seem very appealing tonight.
There were better ways to spend a Friday night. Between the countless offers the city provided, there were always Sebastianās more than generous friends to make the night entertaining. Going in bemused and half-unprepared, he let the night take its course in any way it would. He didnāt have enough details on Sam to know what the night would entail and that was fine, for the most part. The most enigmatic of situations tended to turn out fun, if not good.
Showing up late (as he usually did), he scanned the room for Sam. Even when he saw him, there was no rush getting there. Not because he was an asshole -- although that, as well, had been the factor -- but because he didnāt want to seem eager; he wasnāt. So he took a minute or two, collected himself from the breezy air outside, and finally, loudly, came to Sam.Ā āI see youāve started without me.ā He raised a hand to get the bartenderās attention, he ordered a whiskey, neat, and returned his gaze to Sam.Ā āI didnāt realize you needed a drink that bad.ā
