The girl sitting in front of him didn’t even glance up as she snorted, “Can’t you see? Are you blind?”
Ethan blinked in surprise. Her blunt words would have angered anyone else, but not him. He wasn’t upset No one had ever dared to talk to him this way–yet, somehow, it felt refreshing coming from her.
“I can see just fine,” he said calmly. “But why are you getting drunk? Are you facing some kind of problem?”
“I don’t talk to strangers,” she replied flatly, still not looking at him.
“Then let’s change that,” he said with a small smile. “We could get to know each other, and then we wouldn’t be strangers anymore.”
“No,” she said sharply. “I don’t want to know you.
For the first time, Ethan felt at a loss. What could he do to make her talk to him? Helplessly, he muttered. “But I want to know you…. His tone took on a boyish charm, one he didn’t even realize he had.
She looked up briefly, her tone tinged with frustration. “Aren’t you ashamed to make such a request to a complete stranger? Who do you think you are, anyway? Some bigshot? Are you the owner of this place? Or maybe a king?”
Ethan blinked, stunned. This was the first time anyone had ever snapped at him like that. He pursed his lips slightly, feeling strangely amused. “Okay, okay. Don’t be mad,” he said gently, trying to placate her.
“Then stop bothering me!” she snapped again, grabbing another shot and downing it swiftly.
“I can stop,” he offered with a nod. “But only if you tell me your name.”

He couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“You really want to know my name?” she asked, her words slightly slurred but carrying an unintentional allure that sent his heart racing.
“Yes,” he said, nodding eagerly.
“Lily,” she said, her voice soft and hazy but so captivating it felt like music to his ears.
