Danika continued her little waves to get the bartender's attention, but after so long she began to wonder whether he actually knew she only wanted water. She was about to give up when a shadow stretched close.
He was taller than her, and she saw only the stern line of his jaw since he kept his face angled forward the whole time. But he was handsome, seemingly more so because he all but ignored her.
The bartender gave him an entire bottle of whiskey and Danika's jaw dropped. She felt the little tap on the top of her head and winced in surprise. When she realized it had been the stranger directing the bartender to serve her, a smile broke through the frustration.
He promptly delivered water and Danika guzzled it down greedily. She carried a refill away and went in search of her rescuer, if only to thank him. But also she was curious to know just how it was he managed to do with a glance what she'd been attempting for ten minutes.
It was only by virtue of the whiskey bottle that she was able to spot him. Now she thought about it, she hadn't really gotten a good look at his face before. There were many dark handsome and mysterious strangers present. It would have been easy to miss him otherwise.
She leaned against the wall alongside him like it was the only thing holding her up.
"Oh my gosh thank you! I was parched! You'd think this was Mars!"
She eased a shoe off then, and actually dropped four inches in height, lowering herself even further away from the level of his gaze.
