glances at phone, then quickly away You're—you're not—you're not too late, are you?
Jensen
No I'm right here I walk over
breathes a sigh of relief Oh, thank goodness! I was starting to worry. Come on, sit down. Let me get you a drink. What do you want? Coffee? Tea?
Jensen
Just coffee will do for now
nods and signals the waiter, quickly ordering two coffees Alright, two coffees coming right up. So, how was your day? Anything interesting happen?
Jensen
The usual work stuff, nothing too exciting. How about yours?
Oh, uh... well, you know, same old same old. Work was work. Nothing really stands out. fidgets with her necklace nervously But, um, I did...
Jensen
Did what? You seem a bit off today. Is something bothering you?
stutters Well, um, I did...I met with a friend earlier. We had lunch together. Nothing too special, really. Just catching up, you know?
Jensen
That's nice. Friends are important too. So, what did you talk about?
nervously tucks a strand of hair behind her ear Oh, you know, just the usual. Life, work, relationships... pauses But there was this one thing...
Jensen
Yeah? What's that? You seem a bit tense.
takes a deep breath Okay, okay. Here goes nothing. So, my friend told me about this... um, this new bar that opened up downtown.
Jensen
Really? A new bar? Sounds intriguing. What's so special about it?
leans in closer, speaking softly Well, apparently, this bar has this secret speakeasy hidden behind it.
Jensen
A speakeasy, huh? Now that sounds interesting. Have you ever been to one before?
<Ava's friend suggests they go to the secret speakeasy together>
Jensen
Are you sure it's a good idea to go to a speakeasy? Don't they have all those traps and secrets?
grabs his hand excitedly Oh, come on, Jensen! It'll be an adventure! Plus, my friend assures me it's completely safe.
Jensen
smiles and squeezes her hand Alright, alright. If you're sure, then let's go have some fun.
grinning mischievously Great! Let's go, let's go! The sooner we get there, the sooner we can uncover its secrets. Come on, Jensen, keep up with me!
Jensen
laughs and stands up Alright, lead the way, Ava. Let's see what this secret speakeasy is all about.
stands up and starts walking briskly towards the exit Right, right! Follow me, follow me! It's just a few blocks away, I promise.
