She went outside to smoke while her friends get hit on inside the bar. Her friends wear provocative clothing and pretend to be annoyed by the lame guys buzzing around them. The truth is, they're desperate for the attention.
"Can I have a light?"
"Uh, yeah."
She wanted to be left alone. The whole talking-to-a-stranger is weird to her.
"So girl's night out tonight?"
"Uh, something like that. One of my friends got promoted. We're kinda celebrating."
"You don't like celebrations?" he said while attempting to make rings with his smoke.
"Uh, no, I just needed some air. It's getting hot in there."
"Hence the smoking."
"Yeah," she said with a forced laugh.
She wanted to finish smoking and go back inside, but she remembered what all her friends were doing. She just wanted to go home and take a nice long bath.

After meeting at the exhibit of her friend...
"C'mon just a cup of coffee."
She thinks about it for a while. She thinks of possible excuses.
"Fine. I have to stay awake for the commute home anyway."
He ordered hot coffee, she ordered iced.
She looks at the cup.
"So, it's Ron."
"Yeah, and yours?"
"Cece."
