Yet, there was no one there in the evenings to tipper the sting of loneliness. That being said, Alyssa decided before another night alone at home she'd at least have a few drinks and then call it a night. With this frame of mind she headed into La Diplomat, seeing a familiar form at the bar that she would not have mistaken for anyone else.
She hadn't seen him since they'd had a rather embarassing attempted sexual encounter. Well, she had SEEN him. In the office. They'd exchange glances and occasionally professional words but not much beyond that. Alyssa didn't know whyh she felt so drawn and compelled to continue to talk to Elphais but it was this magnetism which drew her towards a seat next to him at the bar.
"Don't look so sad," she said as she slid onto the barstool next to him. She was talking of his only slightly tipsy but still downtrodden demeanour.
