Nicholas comes into the bar, wearing his own clothes today.
Already, things are looking up from the last time he was in.
He takes his newspaper up to the bar, and with a sigh, he contemplates what to order. Eventually, he gives in and orders a glass of wine. He's been having a relatively good few days, and doesn't see anything wrong with one drink today.
Glass of red close at hand, Nicholas sets in on the crossword. After all, if he's going to keep showing up here, he might as well find a routine in it.
