What: Has Bryony been stood up?
Where: Finnigan's
When: Tuesday 26th May, 7.35pm
Rating: Depends who shows up! SFW for now.
Sitting alone at a table by the window, Bryony tilted her glass so that the little remaining pumpkin juice sloshed over the flakes of ice. She'd ordered the drink over half an hour ago, when she'd arrived ten minutes before she was due. The date she was supposed to be waiting for was nearly forty minutes late, which almost certainly meant he wasn't coming. Paralysed by indecision, Bryony just sat there, watching people arrive in pairs and teams for the pub quiz. If she left, and her date showed up after she'd left she knew it would somehow become all her fault. On the other hand, wasn't staying for twenty minutes after they'd supposed to have moved on to dinner elsewhere a bit pathetic? Either way, Bryony would have to report that the date had been a failure - and she'd be hearing about it for weeks.
The pub was getting more and more crowded, people settling into teams, Seamus walking around to hand out sheets of parchment for the answers. Bryony was taking up a table for two to herself, and more than one person standing was looking covetously at the free chair. As she noticed someone approaching, Bryony braced - honestly not sure what she was going to say.
