John smiled disarmingly at Rhiobhan and motioned for her to join him
at his booth. He then looked over at Winter who gave him a frosty
nod and began fixing the lady a drink.

"To be honest, I got a little turned around in there. There was
just so much to see, and by the time I managed to find my way back
to the front desk you weren't around. I did leave a note on the
desk saying that I would be back. I just got a little thirsty and
the book was so entertaining I couldn't put it down. You have my
deepest appologies if I overstepped my bounds."

It was then that Winter appeared with her drink.
