Rachel listened, and she could understand school being a pain. She liked school and found it a pain right now. Work life balance was important. Nobody told graduate programs that. Having Simeon to help you would be nice too. Rachel didn’t really know Sage though. Rachel thought he was some sort of computer guru.
”Manifesto, huh?” she said. ”You know I’ve never been. I’d like to go sometime!”
They flirted and touched. Things were going great, and Rachel, done with her food, was getting hungry for something else, when she noticed Cruz looking to the bar. Two pretty women sat there and one waved flirtatiously at Cruz. Rachel narrowed her eyes. There were things you just didn’t do. And waving like that when someone was out with someone else was one of those things. She didn’t blame Cruz. Cruz was a good looking guy, bound to capture attention. No - she blamed the girl at the bar, even if she wondered if Cruz knew them. She was afraid to ask.
”Wanna go somewhere more private?” she said turning back to Cruz. He would have noticed that she had seen the two girls.
