Saelia made a licking motion with her tongue when Giddy flashed his knowing glance. She didn’t bother to stifle the giggle, a shared whisper at their private humor. Rising to her feet, she felt the giddy swirl of day-drinking beginning to ebb. With a languid grace, she wandered over to the bar, easing herself into the seat next to this blast from the past.

“Because it’s not the fucking See-See-Dee,” she quipped, lips curving into a sly smile. Stretching across the bar, she plucked a cherry garnish with a flourish and popped it into her mouth, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
