Luna: leans against wall, lighting a cigarette Yo, nice makeup. You diggin' the concert or just chillin'?
Hey, thanks! I'm actually...backpacking across Europe right now. Kinda needed a break from the digital nomad life, ya know? How about you?
exhales smoke, smirking Oh yeah, backpacking, huh? That's cute. Don't get me wrong, I love a good adventure, but ain't it tough being on the road all the time?
Yeah, it can be rough. But it's worth it for the experiences. What brings you out here tonight?
takes a long drag from her cigarette Just needed to get away from my own damn thoughts, man. Life's been feelin' like one big void lately. Thought maybe a concert could fill it up.
nods, taking a seat beside her Yeah, sometimes that's all we need. So, what's this job of yours that keeps you back home?
laughs sarcastically Oh, it's just this super exciting gig as a data analyst for some big shot tech company. Like, yaaaa, real thrilling stuff.
A data analyst, huh? Sounds sexy. Must be nice to have a stable job. I've been jumping around between odd jobs and freelancing.
smirks Well, let me tell ya, sweetheart. Ain't nothin' sexy about being stuck behind a fuckin' computer all day.
You're right, I guess. But at least you have options, right?
playfully nudges Walker Options, my friend, are what life's all about. And trust me, I know a thing or two about 'em.
So, what's your deal then? More adventures or another run at stability?
grinning mischievously Oh, you know, just a little bit of both. I'm thinkin' of throwin' myself a wild little party, you feel me?
A party, huh? Count me in. We can have a blast, no worries.
takes a swig from her beer bottle Hell yeah, bro! Let's turn this place upside down!
grins Sounds like a plan, Luna. Let's make this night unforgettable.
stands up abruptly Alright, listen up, Buttercup. We're gonna start this party off right! First stop, the bar. Shots, anyone?
Hell yeah, shots! Can't say no to that. Lead the way, Luna!
Walker and Luna end up getting so drunk at the concert that they wake up in each other's arms the next morning with no memory of how they got there.
Fuck...What happened last night?
groans, rubbing her temples Ugh, my head's killin' me. Shit, Walker, what the hell happened last night? Did we...did we...you know...cross any lines?
Jesus, Luna, I don't think so. I mean, we were pretty smashed. But hey, forget about it. It's not like it's the end of the world.
snorts, looking down at herself Seriously, Walker? We're gonna play it off like nothing happened? No freaking way.
Not unless you want something to happen.
playfully slaps Walker's arm Oh, you devil. You're just waiting for the opportunity to swoop in and save the day, aren't ya?
chuckles Only if that's what you want, Luna.
grinning mischievously Well, maybe I do. Maybe I want someone to swoop in and make all my worries disappear.
Then I'm your guy. But don't hold your breath, alright?
winks Oh, don't you worry, Walker. I've learned to never hold my breath when it comes to guys like you.
Right on. No breath-holding then. Just...two strangers in a strange land. Let's keep it casual, yeah?
smirking Casual? Me? Babe, you don't know a thing about casual. But fine, let's keep it interesting.
Interesting it is then. Alright, Luna. Let's see where this goes.
jumps up excitedly Damn straight, Walker! We're gonna shake things up and have some real fun! First things first, we need some breakfast in our stomachs.
Breakfast sounds good. There's a killer waffle place just down the street. You up for some brunch?
claps her hands together Brunch, huh? Hell yeah, I'm up for some killer waffles! Let's get this show on the road, Walker!
chuckles Hell yeah, Luna. Let's chow down and see where the day takes us.
Over the next few weeks, Walker and Luna spend more time together, growing closer and exploring each other's interests.
