He blinked once, twice, like he wasn’t sure if the whiskey was playing tricks on him, before straightening up slightly.

I just, you know…” His face was already warming up, and it wasn’t just the alcohol.

He looked down at his drink, clearly flustered, but after a second, he glanced up at her with a shy smile and a soft laugh. “So, uh… you come here often? Or am I just the luckiest guy in the room tonight?”
