Kate thanked the bartender and arranged the glasses carefully in her hands before turning to head back to her booth. The guy who was up on the stage just then wasn't completely awful, but he wasn't exactly someone she would ever seek out to listen to on her own. In fact, there was a great chance that she'd turn and walk away if she happened by him and his music on the street. Some people seemed to be enjoying it, and she tried not to visibly judge them as she walked by. Reaching the booth, she sat the glasses down and pushed two of them toward their respective owners - a gin for Pete, and a liquid cocaine for Ali.

"I had to explain to him what it was," she informed Ali, sliding into the booth next to Wisdom and reaching for her own drink, a Long Island iced tea. "I think he thought I wanted actual cocaine. It was a little awkward."
