She hovered by the counter for a minute longer than necessary, to answer a text she received from Dane. He was one of her few friends in the building, and even if she wasn't as close with him she was with other guys, like Jude, she still liked Dane. He was cute, and a good guy, and he had a vibe that she was attracted to. She liked how he was hands on, the kind of guy who seemed like he could chop down a tree and use the wood to build you a new table, or something, all while maintaining a bit of old-fashioned manners and appeal, in how polite and thoughtful he could be. As she would tell Tony, she was certain that Dane had to be hiding some wild side that he only brought out in bed (and if that was true, she would be even more attracted to him), but for now, Brooklyn was content with Dane's character and their friendship. That was the only reason for why he got a response, because for the most part, Brooklyn tended to be a bad texter, in the sense that she ghosted people quite often, sometimes purposely, but more times only because she genuinely forgot to answer.

My place. Cara pretended to cook dinner. Free booze and food though, so I can't complain that much.
She returned to the table after sending the text, sporting a wide smile that probably seemed too wide to be innocent, but was mostly genuine, especially when she saw that Cara was gone from the table. "I put a lot on, so I hope you're hungry," she said, sliding the plate in front of Collin as she placed his glass down, too. "And I've never met a guy who doesn't like rum and Coke, so that's what that is," she added, ensuring that her tone suggested that it would be odd, maybe even embarrassing, for Collin, if he didn't like and consume the drink. "So, now that we're all settled, what are we talking about, boys?" She took a sip of her own drink now, but didn't take a bite of food before saying, "I hope neither of you plan on running off tonight. I need at least one of you to keep me company." Though normally, her obvious choice of company would be Jude, right now, her eyes remained focused, lashes fluttering, in Collin's direction, as if Jude didn't even exist.
