A Little Booze to the Side | Henrietta and Richard
"Rum and cola, please. On the rocks," a brunette with a mild headache asked the bartender at Moriarty's Pub. An hour or so ago, Henrietta had just finished tutoring several ten-year olds at her house. She never met them before, and the experience was enough to send her to the bar. Although, she was in need of alcohol anyways; days seemed to go by faster with it.
"Coming right up, miss."
She considered asking Grace or Alban or Rick or any of her other friends to join her, but it was far to late to bother. Henrietta would have to sit this one alone.
But, there was one other person at the bar. Or to be specific, one other unoccupied person. There was a couple to her left moments away from a passionate embrace, and she had no intention of being third wheel. She inched slowly towards the stranger, and when she was just close to being shoulder-to-shoulder with him, he greeted her, leaving her shocked that he noticed.
