Re: the bar - 8:15 p.m. - Rafe
Alice grinned. "Perfectly."
She sipped at her drink again and looked toward where Rafael indicated to Isobel. "For one, your fish name is adorable. Second, I like Betta fish but I'm not good with fish--I want a cat though. Third, I would be very happy to try some non-baked goods. Fourth... or am I at fifth..." She giggled, the alcohol making her tongue sluggish but her humor unending. "I've never met Nish but I've met Isobel! She drove me home from the bakery which is so nice."
She bounced on her feet and turned to Rafael fully. "We should go say hi to Isobel, she's all alone. Come, friend." She reached for his hand, forgetting all the embarrassment from earlier in the evening and happy to have made a friend.
