Sunday wasn't much of a bar day usually, but Harley was in the mood. If she'd had her way she'd have done some drinking last night, but since she'd had to work this morning that would only have made the customers even harder to deal with. She went to her usual bar, not feeling up to bright and family-friendly right now. She'd had a low-level headache for what felt like days and was coming off her fourth ten-hour shift in a row

He took a slow sip of the whiskey, letting it burn all the way down to his stomach before he realized someone was talking to him. He had started that slow sink down into boozey quiet and it startled him.

"Oh...huh?" He looked down at his drink with a slight smile. "Yeah, well. I don't have anywhere to be tomorrow morning. What's your excuse?"

Harley smirked. "Fair enough," she said as Joe slid an identical drink toward her. "I worked this weekend, so I don't have to go in until afternoon. Haven't seen you in here before." Which probably made her seem like some kind of alcoholic, but fortunately she didn't give a shit what anyone thought. "This place is kind of hard to stumble on, I mean."

"Is it?" He looked around. "I dunno. I just drove until I found somewhere that looked like I could get a decent shot of whiskey on the cheap. Guess when you're looking for nothing, it's not hard to find."
