Grab some beers together

It seemed like a risk worth taking, so after Gretchen was finally finished with the signing, you walk back up to her and continue the conversation you were having with her earlier, which seemed to be something she enjoyed, as well.

"You know something John?" Gretchen tells you as she chugs another beer, causing you to wonder where this was going, "I like you. That's why I didn't mind seeing you hang around."

"Well, if you like me like that Gretchen, why don't we go grab some beers and get out of here?" you ask her, seeing yourself being able to go in for the kill with her later.

"Did you just ask me out?" she teases you, laughing as she finishes the beer she was chugging and grabs another one, already more than a little buzzed.

"Call it whatever you want Gretchen," you tell her as she calls for her bus to take the two of you to the nearest bar, "but I think you're one of the coolest chicks around and want to spend more time with you."

"I'm pretty sure you can expect not to regret this," she tells you, already starting to slur her words slightly as the bus takes off for the bar.

And you were pretty sure you wouldn't regret anything about this night, wither.
