Lemira blurted out, "I wanna hit a bar tonight."

"Sure thing."

"No way."

Lemira instinctively turned to Orion, her eyes shimmering with a hint of anticipation.

After a moment of silent communication, Orion caved, "Why the sudden urge to hit a bar?"

Lemira's voice was tinged with longing, "Never been to one, so I wanna check it out."

Truth be told, she had never set foot in a bar in this life.

In her previous life, she had visited a bar once, but it left her with a psychological scar. This time around, she wanted to face her fears, to dispel the shadows lingering in her heart. Thaddeus playfully slapped Orion on the chest, "Aw, come on, why be such a party pooper, you tyrant, you meanie!"

Orion's lips twitched, "You better zip it, drama queen!"

Lemira couldn't help but laugh until her stomach hurt. She was genuinely enjoying her life now.
