“Think about it though, why do people say the moon effects the ocean waves but not people?” Nico asked as he sealed the paper of the blunt he just wrapped with a lighter. “Astrology is totally real. You can’t convince me it’s not.” He brings the blunt to his lips and lights it, inhaling for only a few seconds before holding it out to TJ. “Do you want to try?” he asked as he exhaled, coughing a little bit. Nico didn’t mind the guy’s company, he just didn’t know what TJ was and was not down for. He seemed cool enough to hang out with though. “You can totally say no. No peer pressure allowed.”

Riley didn’t normally see their coworkers outside of work, so when they saw TJ they saw it as an opportunity to get to know him a little better. “Heeeey, TJ,” Riley greeted. “Can’t imagine Pizza Planet is surviving with both of us gone for the night. Do you think Max is here too? God, did one of us call in?! Management is going to be so pissed.” She laughed a bit. “No, I’m really just glad we can for once have a good time together without the scent of pizza or the sound of screaming children.” Was it a bit bold to say the two were having a good time together? For all she knew TJ couldn’t stand Riley. The thought made them kind of sad. They didn’t ponder on it though and actually thought TJ was really cool. “Anyways...did you want to go to the bar and get a drink with me?”
