Ally spotted Charles walking through the entrance of the bar and waved at him. He smiled and made his way to where she was sitting.
-Hey bugger! Been here for long? – He asked, taking off his jacket and placing it on the chair´s backrest.
-Nah, just got here, this is my first beer- She responded, holding her bottle and taking a sip.
-Where´s Gus?- Charles asked as he signaled the waiter for a beer.
-There was an emergency at work, he said he´d try to make it and, if he didn´t, to tell you that he knows I´m in good hands.
-Great! Lay all the responsibility on the old drunk- Charles said jokingly as he took the beer from the waiter´s hand, nodding at him, and gave it a sip.
They laughed and talked for a while and soon a band arrived and started plugging their gear on the stage.
