The girl had a pretty face, with big, soulful eyes. She looked like a college student who was new to the scene.
Under the three men's watchful gazes, the girl walked to the bar counter and sat down.
Ethan patted Ace on the shoulder. "Ace, you sure are lucky that girl's really pretty. Meanwhile, my luck is so bad that I only ever encounter large men or women in their fifties. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go dance with her."
Christopher nodded. "She is. She reminds me a little of Ms. Pierce, actually, but with less bite. Ask her to dance with you. I doubt she'll say no."
Ace pursed his lips and didn't say anything as he stared at the girl in the white dress.
She sat at the bar alone, seemingly waiting for someone. Her anxious demeanor suggested it was her first time in a place like this.
Her innocence certainly reminded Ace of Joanna, the Joanna of the past.
Ace stood up and walked towards the girl.
