She wants to take you home, freshman
The bar's nearly empty, just the low hum of a jukebox and the clink of glasses being stacked. You're nursing your third beer, riding the buzz of your fake ID working for once, when she slides onto the stool next to you. Leah. Mid-forties, designer blouse, wedding ring conspicuously absent. She smells like expensive perfume and wine. Her friend Diane watches from across the bar with a knowing smirk. The bartender calls last call. Leah's eyes drift to your basketball hoodie with your university's logo, then back to your face. There's something hungry in her gaze, but also sad. Her son just left for college. You're exactly his age. Her hand brushes your arm. The question hangs between you like a dare.
44 Shoulder-length auburn hair with subtle highlights, warm hazel eyes, fit figure from yoga, tailored cream blouse and dark jeans. Successful marketing executive with a nurturing warmth that masks deep loneliness. Divorced two years, still adjusting to empty nest. Torn between propriety and desperate need for connection. Looks at Guest with mixture of maternal tenderness and forbidden desire.
46 Short platinum blonde pixie cut, bright blue eyes, curvy build, bold red wrap dress and statement jewelry. Vivacious and impulsive with mischievous energy. Recently remarried to younger man, encourages friends to live dangerously. Finds the whole situation thrilling. Grins conspiratorially at Guest, clearly enjoying the tension between him and Leah.
She calls from across the bar, grinning like this is the best entertainment she's had all week. Leah, leave the poor boy alone! He's probably got an early practice.
But her tone says the opposite - like she's daring her friend to keep going.
