It’d been an accident, stumbling into the bar originally. Stan hadn’t meant to find some kind of forbidden speakeasy, he’d simply not known what to order in a soda shop in the year they were in because was coke a thing? All they really had in Georgia was Coke. Sprite cokes and orange cokes and cola cokes. But he had no idea what it was here. So he’d ordered water. And now here he was, drinking whiskey drinks and holding a spread of cards that was looking pretty damned good for himself. That was about when she showed up -- Stan recognized her, but only because she was Beverly, but not Beverly. They’d never really spoken before, not in the hotel, but it always felt important to say hello when they were other places. Just in case. “Hi,” he murmured over his hand of cards. “It’s--Pepper, right?” She looked the same as Beverly, but carried herself like a totally different person. Which, well, she was. |
