“Now,” she said. “I’m getting the first round. And the second, and probably all of them. But what is one cocktail that you have been dying to try.”
it happens all so quick. then they’re inside, and it’s dark until lights flash. and there’s all kinds of colors and moving bodies and she can hear the music so much louder in here. she looks around in a slight state of wonderment. keeps her hand wrapped around theo’s gloved one. and she’s only just registering theo’s words.
turning to look at her again, she stumbles. vocally this time, rather than over two feet. ‘ that one that’s .. new york … a cosmo? i don’t know. you pick one i’d like. ’ nell decides eventually. looking over at the bar.
Theo simple shook her head and pulled Nell over to the bar. "Hey there!" she said to the bartender. "Two cosmos please!"
She held out the money for the drinks, pocketing the change once it was returned to her. “So, how does twenty-one feel so far, Nellie? Is it everything you hoped?”
