“Gin and tonic,” Vivienne ordered when the bartender looked her way. She slipped around the barstool, her handbag falling onto the no doubt sticky bar as she made herself comfortable. Her wallet came out, as did a crumbled packet of cigarettes. She wasn’t generally a smoker but sometimes a stiff drink and a cigarette at the end of a busy day was the best thing in the world.
“And ah,” Vi stopped the bartender, “a shot of Jack to start.” She flashed him a grin that suggested it had been a tough day. The young man returned the smile and sloshed the dark liquid into a water stained glass, clunking it down on the bar in front of her. It didn’t stay there long, Vi throwing it back with only a small grimace at the burn it left in the back of her throat.
While waiting for the gin, Vivienne glanced around the bar with a sigh, one hand running through her tossed curls to pull her hair back out of her face. She was hardly done up for the occasion but had at least taken the time to clean up after a day of crawling around under jacked up cars. The place was busy and filled with a cloud of smoke and bad country music. But, when it came down to it, at least she didn’t have to put on any graces and try to impress.
“There you go,” the bartender said, snapping Vi’s attention back to him as he placed the gin down. Vi smiled again and reached for her wallet, idly wondering if it would be bad if she ordered another Jack.
