Billy also had a long day. Running Anvil wasn't easy especially when you had to deal with egos and such. Despite all that, there were several promising recruits and he was pleased.
After calling it a day, Billy decided to get a drink at his favourite bar. Initially, he went with a colleague but he was quickly left to his own devices when his colleague had to leave. He should have called it at night himself, however, a pretty woman across the bar had caught his eye. Instead he sat and watched until she too, was left on her own.
Billy eventually got up and took his empty bottle to the bar. He slid into a seat as he motioned for a refill. "May I buy you another?" He asked Elena, looking at her almost empty beer. She might refuse but at least it was one way to get her to talk to him.
