"So you changed the beautiful, cold, rainy Seattle for boring Atlanta? Wow, what a change" Sebastian says, making me laugh. "At least I no longer have the flu every two weeks" I joke. He laughs and takes a drink of his fourth beer.

"Why costume design?" I frown, what a change of topic. "I'm curious" he smiles at me

"In fact, I always had the idea that I wanted to be a fashion designer. But in the first year of college, when we still hadn't chosen a specific area, I had my first subject with Judianna, that year she dedicated herself to making my life impossible. She made me repeat absolutely all my work." I explain and have a drink

"The second year I was already in the area of fashion design, but Judiana offered me to start working with her. I was good at fashion, pretty good. But it turned out that Jud in a year had made me the best in costume design" he smiles at me

"I knew that the path to being a fashion designer is almost impossible if you are not someone important, and I was not. And Jud was giving me the opportunity to start my career in a big way. I had a career to pay for on my own at 18, I had to support myself, help my father keep the house standing, and excel in school. So I accepted and changed to costume design. I love fashion design, but costume design gave me recognition and value in this industry." He stares at me for a few seconds, he nods and gives me an understanding smile

"And that's how I met Joe and Anthony. The first job I went with Jud was on the Winter Soldier." He widens his eyes in surprise "I was practically Jud's assistant but it was worth it if I had the chance to be in such a big movie" I confess with an embarrassed smile

"Jud didn't confessed me this until shortly before she died, but she told them about my situation and they decided to pay for the education of a girl they didn't even know and they kept looking out for me all those years. That's why we get along like this, we have a strange fathers-daughter relationship" We both laugh "And that's why every time they call me for a job, I accept without hesitation, I owe them practically everything, so it's the least I can do."

I turn to see him and his gaze makes me shiver. Again, I don't know why I opened up to him so much.

He finishes his beer, smiles at me and takes my hand "Wanna go somewhere else?" I frown, he gives me another smile and I nod. I finish my beer and he takes out his wallet to pay.

"Did he pay for the ten beers?" Alejandra asks the obvious "The most he'd paid me is two" she speaks outraged "Girl, he only paid for a few drinks" Mackie says

"They are leaving!" yells the angry blonde. "Don't worry, he must have gone to drop her off at her place. He is being polite. He will be back here in a few minutes. You'll see." Lizzie tries to calm her friend down.
