Re: Connie and Ethan
Connie thought she was pretty charming too, flashing a smile that was more weirdo than anything else. No, charming she wasn't, but friendly? She had that in spades. Everyone knew she was a nice, friendly slacker. Just, a little weird. Connie was a native of Repose and one of those people that carried a bad story around with them while insisting on being totally oblivious about it. Gossip around town was that her dad leaving her and her brother drove her a little nuts. There's a lot of sympathetic that poor child thrown in, depending on how far away you might be from the church.
"Hey, buddy." She stretched along the bar, like she was going to tell him a secret. "You look like you had a day." Connie didn't specify what kind of day, just that she'd like to hear about it. She hopped a stool over and the patted the one next to her for him to fill the gap.
