With a tired smile, Brooklyn made her way to the Red Lion. She had just returned to town after being gone a few days to go visit her darling mother. Brook indeed had a good time with her mom and her sibling but her step-father had been a completely different story.
Despite the fact that she would love to go back home and drink endlessly till she passed out, she didn't have any alcohol so she resorted to go to the Red Lion.
She visited this place enough that she was now considered a regular and the staff and owner knew her by name and she to them.
Walking into the pub, Brook greeted Mark, the owner and the current bartender. The elderly man greeted her in return and placed a scotch on the rocks in front of her.
Placing it on her tab, she took out her phone from her bag and returned some text messages from friends back home and thought about calling her mom to tell her she was home safe but decided otherwise. She felt it was disrespectful to call her from a pub. She returned a few more emails later and sighed as she took drink from her cup and put her phone away.
