Sara was sitting at a table by herself, drinking some whiskey. She clutched the glass tightly in her hand.
"Someone drinking like that is trying to run from something." A beautiful accented voice says from beside her.
"There's just some things I'd like to forget." Sara muttered.
Frowning, the woman sits down in front of Sara. "What's on your mind darling?"
"It's none of your business." Sara reasoned.
"I'm only trying to start a conversation." The woman responds. "I don't like seeing beautiful women upset."
Sara looked up at her.
The brunette sends her a warm smile. "My name is Nyssa." she says, not knowing Becca and Hayley had told Sara about her.
"I know." Sara said. "My friends told me about you."
"Good things hopefully." Nyssa responds, shifting in the booth.
"Not much. They just told me your name and that you are friends with Oliver and to avoid both of you." Sara said, taking a drink.
Frowning, Nyssa shifts slightly. "They told you to avoid me?"
"Yes." Sara said.
"Why?" The brunette asks, feeling slightly hurt that people don't like her.
"They said you are dangerous. That Oliver is dangerous. But after what happened at the bonfire, it's Tommy that is dangerous, not you." Sara said, taking a drink.
Nyssa bites her lip and looks down. "We aren't bad people, but we can be dangerous."
Sara shifted in her seat and took another drink.
"May I ask what's bothering you?" The brunette asks softly.
"My girlfriend asked for a break." Sara said. "She thinks my best friend is in love with me."
Nyssa frowns. "That's silly."
"Yeah. My best friend is practically my sister." Sara said.
Nodding her head, Nyssa shifts. "I get that."
Sara sighed.
"I dated Oliver for a few years before we both realized that we were better off as friends." Nyssa says softly.
Sara nodded. "Yeah."
Shifting, Nyssa runs a hand through her hair. "You know what they say. The best way to get over someone is to get under somebody else."
"I've never heard anyone say that." Sara said.
Chuckling, Nyssa looks at Sara and tilts her head to the side. "Really?"
"Really." Sara responded, taking another drink.
"Well, now you have." Nyssa responds in a teasing manner.
Sara rolled her eyes.
Nyssa laughs softly. "I guess you aren't one to smile then."
"Only with my friends." Sara said.
"I'm trying to be your friend." Nyssa responds.
Sara sighed. "I should get home." She said, finishing her drink.
"Really? I was hoping we could go back to my place." Nyssa says softly.
"I don't know you." Sara said. "Why would I go to your place?"
Nyssa tilts her head to the side. "To get to know me."
"Shouldn't we do that in public?" Sara said.
