The Drink | RP with imnodoctor
Riley glanced around The White Lion pub while he waited for the barman to get his order. He'd unknowingly picked happy hour to meet Evie, so the place was packed. She'd cornered a booth in the back while he went to get the first round. Truth of the matter was, after the boring attempt at casual sex the night before, he didn't know if he really should be here or not. But he owed her a drink. She'd helped him with the kid as promised after he'd spilt the urine specimen on her, so the least he could do was buy her a couple of drinks.
He accepted his change with a smile and then tucked his wallet back into the back pocket of his jeans to pick the drinks up and carefully carry them through the crowd to the booth. He didn't really think this was a date, but as far as dates went, save for the dinner with Beth in Scotland, it had been a long time since he'd had one. He also knew Tab was vouching for him to jump into bed with some successful boobs, but on that subject, Riley just felt tired. He was ready to fold on the whole issue and just bury his nose in work... at least until he got the test results.
He set the drinks down on the booth table with a smile and slipped into the seat beside her. "I hope this wasn't too short notice for you. I actually expected to escape crowds, not walk right into them," he admitted.
