**No Speaking**
The upscale bar was known for their magnificent staff, but certainly the bartenders were the most noteworthy. They not only were known for perfectly making all the classic drinks you would normally find at a bar, from the very popular to the very obscure, they also create some of the most unique and interesting drinks, catering to almost everyone’s taste. They will even match their customers with the drink that best suites them, surprising even the most finicky of patrons.
It was our favorite bar to have a nice quiet drink together at the end of the day before heading off home for dinner and a little dessert. But tonight was a little different. Tonight…we were inviting a third to the party.
We sat on opposite sides of the room.
I was seated in a small lowly lit lounge area, the large rounded sofa covered in softest dark brown tufted leather and surrounded by a thick mahogany frame filled most of the space. A small matching mahogany was seated in front of me and was decorated with a large textured old gold bowl containing a candle with the scent of warm spices, tobacco, leather, and wood.
