When I first started writing about Lia and Harry, it was supposed to be nothing but a one-shot, inspired by one single picture of him. A rude bartender who works across the street from this very socially anxious girl. And then I got attached to the characters, and as I kept writing and posting more parts, I realized I couldn't tell their story like that. So quickly. So I went back and re-wrote it, and added a bunch of background and new scenes. Two years went by and I'm still working on that longer, more complete version. But everyday part of me feels guilty for never putting an end to that first draft I shared, and that back then got my writing "out there" on tumblr. So here I am now, posting a mix between what I like to call the OG version and the new one. It is way shorter, and maybe a few things here and there will end up being different because of that, but at least it will be complete. And I will be able to finish re-writing the other one without the constant guilt following me (lol). Hope you enjoy. Summary: Harry is a bartender and Lia lives right across the street.
