VICTORIA

I push through the large wooden door of the bar and am pleasantly surprised. It’s big, with high ceilings and people everywhere, giving a nice hum of conversation to the place, along with some country music playing in the background. It is new and polished, yet rustic. Lots of soft brown leathers, hardwood floors, and amazing antler chandeliers hanging from the exposed beams above. It is what I would class as luxe country and I love it.

“Oh, you’re here!” I hear a squeal and look to my left, spotting Jasmine at the bar waving frantically. I huff a smile, which is hard to erase at the sight of her seemingly excited to see me. As I take another quick look around, I am thankful that I dressed appropriately. No little black dress required here. Instead, I opted for darker jeans and a black silk camisole top since it is pretty warm tonight. My hair’s up in a ponytail, because after working all day, it was just a mess and no amount of blow-drying was going to help. And I finished off with a lick of bright-pink lipstick.
