"Coming right up," she replied. She got a glass from underneath the counter, set it in front of him and poured some of his signature whiskey into it. "Anything else?"

Moonshine looked at her with big, sad, sorry eyes. "I want ya to not hate me. And don't tell me yer not mad, cuz I know ya are, otherwise ya wouldn't be so cold to me."

Rose simply stared at him for a few seconds before walking away and helping another customer. Of course she was mad at him. And there was a small part of her that did hate him. So it was best not to talk to him at all.

Moonshine sighed heavily. "Fuck." He took a hard swallow of the whiskey, and waited until she felt like checking on him again.

She didn't check on him for another half hour, at least. When she did, she strolled over to him casually, the same polite smile on her face. "Another one?" she asked in her typical bartender voice.

Oh, he wanted another one, all right. But he wanted to at least prove to her a little bit that he was a better man then he'd been. "No. Thanks." He lifted his eyes from the bar to meet hers.

"Okay, then that'll be ten cents," she told him, taking his glass and avoiding his gaze.

He gave her a whole dollar instead. "Take yer break? Come talk to me? Please..."

"Yeah, fine," she mumbled, still not looking at him. She set the glass down and hopped over the bar to the other side.

He took a breath, following after her, out through the back door to the alley. Once they were outside, her put a hand to her arm gently. "Rosie...God, Rose, I'm an idiot."

"You're an idiot for having sexual desires and acting on them? Sounds like 90% of the male population to me..." Rose shrugged, only glancing up at him. She was trying not to explode.

Ugh, why didn't she just yell at him! This calm, everything's fine attitude made him nervous. "Yes, Rosie, I'm an idiot. 'Cause all I really wanted was you!"

Rose chuckled as she shook her head. "No, that's obviously not true. I thought maybe it was, but..."

There it was. He knew her disappointment was buried in there somewhere. He raked a hand through his hair. "Rosie, it is true. It's been true. I've been tryin' to get ya to be with me for weeks!"

"And you thought sleeping with another girl was a good way to achieve that?" She scoffed, laughing some more.
