Melinda was sitting there, drinking her shots and chugging a few beers. Its what she was known to do when she was lonely, or even perhaps a tad bit depressed. Pouring herself another shot, she tipped back the shot glass and then put it down. This was the time of year that she was supposed to spend with her family. Her mom would be cooking an amazing turkey, while she would help with the sides. Her other family members would be gathered around and they would be sitting and laughing.
Here, it was a lot different. Yes, she has met a few people here that were nice and everything. But she missed her home back in San Francisco and she missed all her friends and magic school. This holiday made her think about everything.
Sipping some more of her beer, she looked at the man that had sat down in a bar stool near her. "Hey." She greeted him with a smile. "Yes I am alone and sure, why not. Pop a squat.....and your name is?" She asked.
