Re: 9:00 - Mia & Dante
It was nice to be able to watch her as she flipped through the pictures on her phone. It still didn't instill in him any particular longing for permanence, but he was glad that she could have that. He looked over at her, lips pulled upward, charming and easy. "Beer and pizza? I'm pretty sure I would have done it just for one of your smiles."
She was beautiful, and this was harmless. This was a magical night where he could say things. Consequences were for the light of day and bared faces. Dante glanced at his drink and wondered if it had been made with e heavier hand than usual. It was probable, since lubricated guests were more likely to part with their capital than they were when they were sober. He nodded as she spoke about her parents, and it reminded him that he needed to call his own soon. "That's great, that you all can get back to that. I'm sure it wasn't easy at all. It's always difficult to figure out how people are going to react when you've fallen. The fear that it might be badly is perfectly justifiable."
