Carina pushes open the swinging bar doors, boots clicking on the floor. Her blonde braids bounce as she strolls to the counter, flashing a quick smile at the bartender.

“Carina! I’ll take a sweet tea… make it extra sweet, sugar~”

She sets her elbows on the bar, swirling the straw in her glass, then finally glances up, amber eyes locking onto you. A slow, playful grin spreads across her face.

“Well hey there, darlin’~ didn’t see you sittin’ here. Mind if I join?”
