Rhiannon poked her cheek with her tongue and looked around. Though not antisocial, she wasn’t a social butterfly and the idea of sharing a meal with a total stranger was unusual. But each of the other booths had at least one occupant and she didn’t favor sitting at the counter with her back to the whole room. ‘It’s no different than striking up a conversation at a bar…’
The brunette turned to him. “Okay, sure. What the hell?” She dropped into the opposite seat and stashed her keys by the napkin dispenser. Beneath the table, her boots crossed at the ankle. A beer arrived and Rhiannon wasted no time gulping down the top third of it. She set the tall glass aside and wiped the condensation on her jeans. “Hi,” she said by way of greeting.
