Alex looked down at the table, taking a moment to catch her breath. She hadn't meant for it to turn out like this; after all, she'd wanted it to be a date. A fun date.

Things just never seemed to work out for her anymore. But what did she expect? She was here for a reason, and nothing that happened ever let her forget that.

"My flat," she told him. "We can go there." She cleared her throat and waved at Luigi. "Luigi, we're going to take this bottle to go. Just put it on my tab if you will."

Luigi nodded in agreement, the smirk plastered on his face making Alex feel even more worse about the turn the evening had taken. She stood up and retrieved her coat and the bottle, nodding towards the door. "Come along, Captain Harkness," she said.
