twice is a decision

Wake me up, I've been asleep for too long
Caught in a dream, time goes on and on

Ace reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear, and Sohalia's breath caught at the perceived tenderness of the motion. This wasn't how her evening was supposed to be going, but a small part of her had to admit that she was enjoying herself - perhaps even a little too much. Despite her best intentions, it was fun to be wanted, to be desired, to play this little game of flirtation that she was so very inexperienced in.

Maybe that was why she clung to Ace's hand as he led her to the bar, or why she tucked herself against his side once they made it to order their drinks. Maybe that was why, instead of ordering something non-alcoholic and therefore unlikely to cloud her mind, she asked the bartender for a tequila sunrise. And maybe - just maybe - that was why she returned Ace's smile with a coy one of her own. "So," she said as they waited for drinks. "Flora told me some interesting things about you the other day." She raised her brows, her eyes dancing with mischief. What kind of drugs are popular in the Greatwood, I wonder?

Maybe I shouldn't be speaking too soon
Maybe I shouldn't believe in you
