Concord Grape Gin Fizz (Vegan)

“Look… If we will do this—I mean—I already have my fair share of troubles, you know?”

“Hum,” he mumbles. Ginny takes it as an agreement.

“And I think you’ve already got yours, so—” Her voice shakes; the back of his hand is caressing her jaw, his thumb brushing the corner of her lips. “So this is just your classic one night stand.”

That makes him pause, his gaze now meeting hers; there’s relief and also an inopportune disappointment when he nods.

“Just two strangers meeting,” he agrees, but then he tilts his head, curious. “What’s your name?”

“Strangers,” Ginny reinforces. “No names. You can call me…” Her gaze falls over her half-drunk cocktail. “Gin.”

“Gin,” he repeats, eyes shining. “It suits you. I’m guessing this makes me Fizz.”
