Drinking alone can be a drag-mind if I join you?" His direct and passionate approach sent a flutter through even the seasoned Selena's heart. She got where Rhett was coming from, seeing a reflection of her own younger self-full of zest and doing whatever it took to win over the man she adored.
Even though she wasn't feeling any sparks with Rhett just yet, she couldn't help but feel a kinship with him. So, she didn't turn him down and grinned, "Sure thing." They settled back into their seats, and Rhett suggested a cocktail for Selena- sweet, not too strong, and absolutely delicious.
