Aurora said. “Thank you.” Aurora looked down at her food. She picked up a French fry and ate it.
“Are you all right?” Jason said.
“Yes, of course!” Aurora said. “I-I-I am not used to compliments. That’s all.”
“Really?”
“Believe it or not,” she blushed. “Yes.”
“Well,” Jason said. “Do you want to go out and have a drink after this with me and my friends?”
Aurora was shocked, which caused her to almost choke on the fry. While gasping for air Aurora said, “Well, it is just… I don’t drink. I don’t drink alcohol.” She took a sip of water.
“Oh, okay.” Jason seemed bummed.
“I am kind of tired, too.” Aurora said. “I plan to go home after this. It has been a long week.”
Aurora continued in a peppy voice, “Well, maybe we can get coffee sometime, though.”
Aurora was usually not that assertive, but she thought she had nothing else to lose. Melih wasn’t messaging her. At the least, she would make a good networking contact or a friend.
Jason seemed cheerful. “I’d love that. I can give you my number and you can text me.”
Aurora grabbed his phone from her clutch and gave it to Jason. “You can save it in here and text your phone. That way you have my number also.”
Jason slowly started to stand up as he buttoned up his tux jacket, “Well, it was nice meeting you. I am going to go meet up with my friends.”
Aurora watched Jason walk away just like she had watched Melih. She hoped he would actually text her, or she was going to feel pathetic. Though the only message Aurora really wanted was from Melih.
