#i don't want to know what yeast would do to a modern cheesecake

"Then that means I have to come and see you! And soon!" Dilan insists, wanting to see Mia where she feels the most at home. And in a place where it's not as odd for her to be seated alone. Dilan thrives on attention, but she hates the wrong kind, and she doesn't want to be seen as pitiful. It's totally par per the course for people to sit by themselves at a bar, though, even if they may be looking for people to hook up with at the same time. Dilan may be otherwise busy flirting with the bartender instead. "Yeah, exactly! A fun little experiment, and a yummy one at that!" Unlikely if they do what they are describing. "I have a huge kitchen at my place we can use!" They arrive at the creamery, and Dilan thanks the Uber driver on her way out of the car.

"I think bartending might really be my element," she muses, smiling. She knows it's not what most people would refer to as their element. Some people are artists, or get in the zone when crunching numbers or whatever. There is something that she genuinely enjoys about slinging drinks and making conversation. And tips. The tips can be really good. "You'll see," she says mysteriously, although there's really nothing much to see. Just a decent bartender doing a decent job. "Exactly what I was thinking. Another one of our little science experiments." It's clear that neither of them are scientists, but Mia likes getting a little messy. "If there's no recipe we can just throw yeast in and see what happens." Once again: messy.
