she was off duty now, and that meant that she could drink. she had just settled into her seat at the bar and ordered an old fashioned when they offered to pay for it. ❝ oh thanks, ❞ she said with a smile, ❝ i’ll get the next one. ❞ she wasn’t one to turn away a free drink as long as they allowed her to return the favor.
jim recognized them from the festival. ❝ this may sound weird, but did you perform at the festival? ❞ she asked. she had only really paid attention to the rock groups finding the rest of the acts ok, but not her cup of tea.
Ash grinned as the stranger accepted their offer to pay for her drink, settling in at the bar and taking a sip from the cocktail they’d ordered. They had slowly been working their way through the menu and each drink just seemed to be getting better and they really weren’t sure if that was just because the alcohol was making it taste better or because the drinks genuinely were better, or perhaps a combination of the two?
“Oh, yeah. Yeah I did.” They nodded. “I go by Ash.” They wiped their hand free of the condensation from the glass on their pants and then extended it to the stranger.
