Aphrodite had been at the bar for some time, waiting for Roxy and the others to arrive. She bit her lip when she heard voices in the entryway above the soft music playing at the bar. Aphrodite was elated when she saw Roxy walk inside ahead of Darius and Melanie, with Zach and Thea waving to her from the back of the group. “Roxy! I’m so happy you came,” Aphrodite gushed as she hugged her friend. “We all are,” Dakota said from behind the bar where she worked with Evan. Evan agreed, “We are! Would any of you like something to drink?” “Our usuals, please,” Darius said with a smile. “Roxy, what would you like?” “I would love something I haven't had in years, but you probably can’t make it,” Roxy sighed. “What is that?” Aphrodite asked. “I would love a strawberry daiquiri,” Roxy smiled.
