"Dude. Seriously. Dude."
Bo should have known to stop saying that by now, since it was the third time someone passing by had thought she was talking to them and turned to stare at her. This time, it was Tiny.
"No, not you." Bo pointed at the
vodka bottle. "That. Dude? Seriously? Could this be aimed at anybody
but American frat boys who aren't old enough to drink it?"
Tiny eyed the bottle, shrugged, poured some into a highball glass and knocked it back like a shooter.
Bo watched him while he thoughtfully licked his lips. "What's it taste like?"
All she got in return was an eyeroll, though that was directed at the bottle, followed by Tiny grabbing a can of Mountain Dew from the fridge beneath the bar and slapping it down next to the booze.
"Seriously?" Bo looked back and forth between the two. "Why? Why would they make... oh, I get it. You're screwing with me."
Now the eyeroll was for her. Tiny pointed to his empty glass.
Not that she was going to drink out of somebody else's glass, but she did pick it up to smell it. "...Dude."
Bo almost wondered if someone wasn't screwing with
all of them and it actually
was just over-caffeinated soda in the vodka bottle. It couldn't be
too strong; Tiny had gulped that down with no aftereffect whatsoever.
One shot glass later, Bo was only not banging her head against the bar because she was dizzy enough already, thanks.
"Duuuuuude."
[So late. So OCD-free.]
