āOh I would be more than happy to introduce you to my friends. Theyāre quite an outgoing bunch of people. But first, letās get you that drink⦠whatās your poison?ā Dimitri asked the other as he led her towards the bar.Ā āI take it you havenāt been around the city all that much?ā He noted upon hearing the otherās words, which caused him to chuckle softly. He was not one to judge.Ā āI wouldnāt blame you though. Chicagoās a pretty big city.ā He admitted with a shrug before he laughed softly at her question.Ā āHonestly, I didnāt meet any of these people overnight or anything like that. Most of these people are friends from work. Iāve been working at the hospital for eleven years now so⦠thatās where I met most of my friends. But the others⦠I guess, Iām just a social butterfly. I go about pretty much everywhere and end up making friends⦠kind of like how I met you, you know?āĀ
āIs it bad that I donāt even know what to get? Iām more of a beer girl than anything else. But this doesnāt feel like the kind of event for IPAs and lagers,ā she laughed.Ā āNot really. Iāve been so busy with work and trying to get enough money to pay rent -- I know I probably shouldāve tried to meet people or whatever, but... itās tough, you know?ā She wasnāt exactly the best at reaching out, and being around a bunch of strangers sounded more like a nightmare than a fun weeknight out.Ā āMaybe I need a job where Iām not standing behind a register all day,ā she offered.Ā āThatās fair. I donāt know. I think about going out to bars by myself and everything and just... itās a lot. Do you just... not get anxious going places by yourself?ā
