“It's going to be really difficult ” she warned. Though the faux threat of it was lost with her chipper tone and accompanying wink. Julianna had limited herself to one question a night since she'd discovered that he apparently knew everything. She'd bombarded him with questions while she served him a fifteen-year-old scotch. She was briefly returned to wondering if what he did for a living is what led to him looking so nice. He never had any concern for the cost or strength of what she poured for him. Always left too much cash without looking at the bill.
Julianna took the bottle back from him and held it in both hands, a half turn so that the label was facing her. She was still smiling as she scanned the label again, pleased with either her choice or his approval. “And what a coveted seal indeed,” she joked, as she held the bottle upwards, above her head in a fashion all too similar to the opening scene in the Lion King. Laughing to herself, she lowered her arms and placed the bottle back on the shelf behind the counter.
His phone buzzed, drawing his attention and a whistle at the other end of the bar drew hers. She looked towards the noise to see Sai nodding his head towards a man situated at the end of it, leaving her puzzled. Calling her over meant that this patron had asked for her specifically. “Excuse me a moment,” she said to Owen, as she refilled his glass.
With her best professional smile on display she walked over to the man. He leaned one elbow on the bar with a braggadocious air about him that she was used too. He was a self-assured grin in a cheap suit and too much hair product. She greeted him the same regardless. He tried to seem charming. He failed. She said something mild, and he laughed too loudly. Her smile never faded, her posture read impatient. He asked for her number and this time she laughed. She also turned him down. He left the counter looking defeated and she remained at that end of the bar to talk to Sai and a few other regulars.
When she returned to her side of the bar she greeted a new customers, before returning to Owen. She expertly put together an Old Fashioned for the gentleman and a Manhattan for the lady with the ease of practice. When they complimented her skill, she laughed politely with a red tinge to her face.
“Long day, Mr. Hart?” she inquired as she moved in front of him again, filling his glass for a third time.

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
