Re: the bar - 8:15 p.m. - Rafe
"She is," Alice replied with a laugh. "She's been my bad influence since we were kids. Always the one making chaos. I was always more quiet. But I wouldn't be here without her. Or meeting you!"
She turned her bright grin to Rafael. "But you! You should say more! You know about my job and my best friend and I don't know anything--" the color began to creep back onto her cheeks "--well, beside the job stuff."
She pranced closer to him, the quiet, slow moving, peaceful girl that she usually was too far gone for the moment and replaced by a more carefree person who moved and was certainly more physical than usual, as she placed a gentle hand on the edge of Rafael's shoulder. She looked at him seriously though and took a moment to swallow and regain some semblance of sobriety before saying. "Tell me about you."
