Ryan was glad when his shift was over that night. Aside from meeting sexy Mrs. Bennet, the clientele had been the usual melange that he lived well off, right now, until he found a better perspective. Whatever, he thought when he started his car and thought for a moment about where to go. He was currently residing with his parents, which allowed him to save more money for another attempt at college, so he could either go home or check out the water holes around town before doing that. The decision was an easy one, and instead of heading home, he headed to the next diner.<br/><br/>The place was bustling. Ryan got out, giving the vintage Mustang on the parking the once-over, not without noticing the traces of smoke and extinguishing powder around the front, shaking his head - really a pity to see such a fine car in such a state. Looks like someone has taken too much stress to it, he thought as he passed through the door into the tavern. Not so strangely, the place was crawling with people he knew, at least from seeing them. In a town of just 15.000, and with a limited number of places to go out, it was nearly impossible not to run into someone you knew.<br/><br/>He had seen the girl behind the counter - the busty one with the long brunette hair, but couldn't attach her to any place. And then there was the other girl, over at one of the tables with that bulky guy... Lily. Yes, he remembered her better. And over at one of the other tables was that redhead he definitely had seen a few times at the gym, but couldn't remember the name of. Smiling and nodding around, he found himself one an empty seat at one of the bar tables, and ordered a beer from a passing waitress. His gaze lingered for a bit longer on the redhead, who was with a group as well, shooting her a smile - maybe she'd invite him over.
