Ada quirks her brow, a small smirk tugging at her glossed lips.

“Settle down?”

She lets out a sharp breath from her nose in lieu of a genuine laugh.

“You know the answer to that.”

“ Seems like we could both use a drink. “

His words didn’t fall on deaf ears, she always had a habit of not reacting right away. The stale air that surrounded them consumed the tired cadence of a woman who had swallowed too much of the world and still chose to walk the darkened path alone. For a moment she let the smoke settle, the silence wrap them in a calming embrace.

Silence was always Ada’s way of feeling like she had control over a situation, even one as gentle as this one. She was always guarded despite the exhaustion that filled her amber gems consuming the sparkle that had once been there. Even now she hadn’t learned how to drop her shield, to cease the fight within her.

A slow smile curved on lips stained in red as her eyes slowly turned to the male standing next to her. The one person who managed to become a constant in the world she called her life. “A drink, I remember I once thought coffee would be enough to get by in this lifestyle.” She hummed as she returned her gaze to the horizon. There was a time she had assumed people drank to celebrate and to forget.

As it turns out, most drink to remember a reason to feel something. She tilted her head her raven-colored locks framing her face. “I suppose if you are buying, I could tolerate one glass or two.”
