Sterling reached out to take her jacket from her. He folded it over his arm to deposit across the back of the bench they took up a seat on later. He smiled at her answer to his question. She had seemed un-amazing earlier during their texts, but she was... freer now in a way he hadn't expected to see. "You look amazing." He let his eyes roam over her dress clad form furtively before he gave the bartender his attention.
"Amaretto Rose for the lady, Jack and Coke for me." It was his standard. He very rarely detoured to other types of drinks unless someone wanted him to try it. Jack and Coke was just good.
He leaned against the bar while their drinks were being prepared. "I've been excellent, thanks for asking." He reached for their drinks and put a tip on the bar for the bartender. He gently touched her elbow and gestured across the room to a padded nouveau couch with a coffee table looking piece of furniture in front of it.
"So, what's brought the cat out tonight?" From their conversation at the bar, he'd gathered that she wasn't much for the Experience, and he wondered what had changed to have her asking him to get her in.
