He took her hand and led her out into the club. She laced her fingers between him to draw him closer. At this moment, she would take anything he would give her. She missed him.
The rest of their makeshift gang surrounded the bar. A few were nursing an icy beer as they chatted with each other. Others were admiring their new wardrobe.
