nat stands, taking her drink with her. she goes after the girl, not the boy: a daring rescue from tall, dark and boring.

"if they land this one, you oughta see to the other guy — the one you've been mooning over since he walked in here."
and then natasha's back, mouthing go on over her shoulder. by the time she returns to dutch, the girl has downed her drink and gone right of to lover boy. ]
Didn't think she'd go for it that enthusiastically.
