BEFORE THE SUN WENT DOWN | OPEN

Before Tristan could quite register what was going on, Annabeth was already pulling away. Had that really just happened? By the look on her face, it had. "Nah, but I'll go back with ya if that's what ya want." He replied. The excuse was feeble, even more so after he looked in the bar's direction. The bartender was fine. "Or..." He started, pulling her back towards him by the hand he was still holding. "You can stay here. Think we can bribe the DJ into playing it again?" He was teasing, of course. It would be bad for her business to play the same song twice in a row. Later on that night it would be a different story.

AB smiled and shook her head, "I really should be getting to back work." She approached the table where she had left her knife earlier, "I appreciate you bringing this by. Come dance with me again sometime?" Annabeth couldn't tell how he felt about her sudden kiss and she wasn't sure she really wanted to know.

Tristan nodded his head, a bit disappointed. He could tell that she was upset about what just went on, but now wasn't the time to try and push her. He'd just end up makin things worse. "Goodnight Annabeth." He said after a moment. "I'll be back soon, for that dance." It was a promise he intended to keep as soon as possible.
