Summary: Of all the bars in all the towns, well basically Oakdale just has the one bar.
"Since you're sitting here alone, I take it things didn't work out so well."
Reid glanced over to find Noah's erstwhile rebound sitting next to him. He sighed. He really needed to find another place to get a drink. Of course it'd be just his luck if Oakhell was a one bar town.
"I'd say the same thing for you. Richard, right?"
He nodded. "Dissed and dismissed, Dude. Did Luke bail on you? Cause earlier it really looked like he was into you."
Reid shrugged pushing down the rumble of pain and bitterness that threatened to filter through his alcohol haze. "Let's just say even as a kid, I was never into yoyos." He sat his beer down on the bar. "Also, I've probably had too much to drink."
Richard put a hand on his arm. "You really are hot. Maybe we could..."
"What, have revenge sex?"
"Why not? It could be fun."
For a second he actually considered it but he wasn't a child and something like that wasn't going to make anything better. "I appreciate the offer and no offense, but no thanks."
Richard sighed. "You're still hung up on Luke, right? There's a lot of that going around."
"Yeah, well I think I'm cutting my losses. I'm a little tired of playing Rhett Butler."
Richard laughed. "Hot and funny. You sure I can't change your mind?"
Reid finished his beer and motioned the bartender over, holding up two fingers. "Nope. What you can do though is have a drink with me."
Richard took his beer and clanked it against Reid's. "Here's to not giving a damn."
