“Sure, XO.” Emmeline snapped her fingers crisply.
Abel called over the waiter and placed their order.
As the waiter left, the bartender approached their table with their drinks, kneeling down to mix them.
A rock singer on the stage belted out a song, shaking the room with its booming sound.
Abel frowned.
The noise was unbearable, he thought to himself.

“At school, I used to sing all the time,” Emmeline replied. “I was the star of the show.”
“Well, give it a shot,” Abel encouraged her with a grin.
Emmeline took a sip of the cocktail the bartender had just made and walked over to the stage.
