MEET LIAM
Liam is 6 years old and loves to read and play with his trucks.

For the past few weeks Lacey and Ryan have been having some trouble with their marriage. They just don't feel connected anymore. When Lacey tries to talk with him it always ends up in a fight.

AT HENRY'S
Lacey is working her normal shift, it usually starts out slow but gets really busy around 8 o'clock. The time is currently 7:12  pm. Someone walks into the bar wearing a flannel with the sleeves cut off, and baggy jeans that have stains from a hard day of work. She must be a new customer because Lacey does not recognize her. The new customer stands in the entrance and looks around as if she was looking for someone. She then decides to go up to the bar. Lacey sees her and makes her way over to take an order. She hands her a drink menu.

LACEY:
Hello, welcome to Henry's, what can I get for you?

The customer looks at the menu.

CUSTOMER:
I can't decide, what would you recommend?

LACEY:
Well, the smokey dragon seems to be quite popular among my customers.

CUSTOMER:
Okay, that is what I will get then.

LACEY:
Coming right up!

Lacey grabs a shaker and pours the liquid into the cup, she adds more ingredients and then shakes it very professionally. She then grabs a glass with ice and pours the drink into the glass. She slides it to the customer and puts a lime slice on the rim of the glass.

CUSTOMER:
Woah, that was pretty cool. I can see why it's called the Smokey dragon.

Lacey smiles at her.

LACEY:
Well, enjoy!

CUSTOMER:
I definitely will, thank you. Anna, is my name by the way.

LACEY:
Nice to meet you Anna, my name is Lacey.

ANNA:
Nice to meet you too.

They both smile at each other. Lacey leaves to tend to another customer.
Anna takes a napkin and grabs a nearby pen. She writes, "Hey! I thought you were kind of cute and was wondering if we could hang out sometimes. Call me! ;) From, Smokey dragon." she then writes her phone number down. Anna slides the napkin over just as Lacey walks back over.

ANNA:
Thanks.

Anna chugs the rest of her drink. She drops some cash on the bar and gets up and leaves.
