It wasn’t a rarity for Erin to call up Alec and ask him to hang out when they have free time. Both did tend to get busy as they both studied law, but Erin was happy to make time for him. Over time, they had grown closer as friends, and Erin would deny it when teased, but she had fallen for him even more as they grew closer. As children, they only ever saw each other at parties and Erin had a small crush on Alec, and that crush never really faded away completely. As the female waited for him to arrive at the bar they met up at, she checked her phone for messages and took a sip of the soda she had ordered. Hearing footsteps approach her table, she looked up and gave Alec her brightest smile. “Hey! Glad you can make it.”
