Prompt: Beth is suppose to be on a date with Zach, but when he doesn't show up she get's upset
It had been an hour or so since he had seen the girl walk into the bar. She looked like she was waiting for something... Maybe someone? He was getting curious, and he wanted- no- needed to know why she was here.
Daryl moved over to her and leaned on the edge of the table. "You waitin' for somethin'?" he asked her, taking a sip from his glass of beer. There was a brief pause, "J-just a guy..." she replied, looking down at the table.
"What's your name?", "What's your job? Interrogator?" she spat back at him, "No, just curious." Daryl answered. "Beth..." Beth said softly, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. "I was suppose to be on a date with this guy, but..." she trailed off, tears pooling in
her eyes. "He didn't show?" Daryl guessed. Beth nodded, "I just don't get why he didn't come..." she said again, tears streaming down her cheeks, and started to cry. Daryl moved a chair over beside her and sat down. He took a napkin and wiped the tears from her face.
"T-thanks." Beth said softly, almost whispering. "Anytime." he said, moving his chair to the other side of the table.
When the waiter came over, he ordered Beth a steak with mashed potatoes, and he ordered the same for himself. Daryl and Beth talked and talked all night long, until it was closing time and they
had to leave. They gave each other their phone numbers and left. This was a night that neither of them would ever forget.
