This. This is a good bar.
She does not mind taking counterfeit currency and she sells everything.
Bella is going to exploit the fuck out of that but first she is eating really, really good pad thai and finally talking to a person who is a) interesting b) not someone she has already talked to a lot in the last... several years. Lovely friendly bar who makes a lovely delicious pad thai! Bella will have to try opening that door at that moment again in the past.

Bella plops back onto the sofa. Next to Edie. Pauses a moment, then plops her head on her shoulder.

Edie startles at the unexpected physical contact, then giggles and leans her own head against Bella's.

Eee snuggles! Snuggles are not completely absent from Edie's life in general but cuddling your sister is very different from cuddling a cute non-relative with whom you are on a datelike thing.

Well, at this point, time is no object. But after enough time snuggling Edie is likely to figure out how to arrange for kissing to happen, given that Bella's head is in a position that would make it really awkward to try to lean over and peck her on the lips.

And...you're supposed to move your lips while you're doing this, but not so much you slobber on the other person. And that is the extent to which her theoretical knowledge of the subject that can be trusted ends.

After enough snuggly kisses, Edie breaks away. "Um--I know we said we were going to do--things--but what things exactly were going to happen was not specifically defined and I did not specifically decide whether or not things possibly involving that lovely bed over there were a thing that I wanted to happen and I am definitely not opposed on a physical level but I need like five minutes to calm down to make this a deliberate choice and not just getting carried away."
