That Special Time of Year
Who: Knox OT Anyone
Where: Avarice
When: Wednesday night (December 9)
If he saw one more Santa in a Hawaiian shirt, Knox was going to punch the old guy. It didn't matter if there were kids around. This time of year always made him hate Los Angeles. His only good memories of Christmas – and winter in general – had been left back in Chicago. A long time ago.
Sitting at the bar, he nursed his third Heineken and let the loud music drown out his thoughts. He'd been to this place once before – with Max. It was where he'd run into that Sammie girl again as well. Was he hoping to see her here tonight? It would have been a longshot. She didn't really strike him as the bar type.
Truth was, he wasn't in a particularly talkative mood. When was he ever? He'd purposefully cut people off and resisted making any new connections – though maybe one or two had wormed their way in over the years. As long as it didn't go to their heads, he didn't have to go out of his way to be an asshole. No, it just came naturally.
