Then we went inside.
Daniel kept me close to him, I was holding his arm as we went in.
"Hey, there he is!" A group of men called out to Daniel.
"Hey you guys." He said and went over to them.

They all looked at me a little confused.
"You gonna.. introduce us or what?" One of the guys pointed his beer towards me.
"This is my girlfriend, Skylar. Skylar, these are some of the guys." Daniel introduced us.

I shyly smiled at them and they nodded their heads at me.
"You guys know where the owners of this place are?" Daniel asked them.
"At the bar." One of them said.

This bar was not like Molly's. It was like 5 times bigger and much more busy. And this place was like a restaurant. And Molly's is always very busy, but this place makes Mollys seem like a shoebox and very slow.
Daniel then took me more towards the back of the place. There was a big bar along this wall that was a whole window. You could see the city behind it.

"Hey honey. Oh, you must be Skylar." Some woman came up to us at the bar.
"Hi. Skylar, this is my mom, Julia. Mom, this is my girlfriend, Skylar." Daniel introduced us.

"Hi. It's really nice to meet you, Sarge." I said, not really knowing how to address her.
She chuckled.
"Please, call me Julia. It's wonderful to meet you,
dear." She smiled.

"Hey, where's dad at?" He asked her.
"Working. He got called to help out with this case. It's a shame, he really wanted to meet her." She explained.

Daniel grabbed a menu and showed me it.
"You guys want some drinks?" Julia asked.
"Yea, I'll get a Highland Park." Daniel said.
"Ok, and for you dear?" She asked me.

"You have Goose Island?" I asked her.
She looked at me confused.
"I'm sorry, what?" She asked me.
"Goose Island." I said again.
Even Daniel chuckled a little.

"Babe, this isn't Chicago." He whispered to me.
"Oh Um.. I'll just get whatever he got." I said.
"Ok, I'll go grab those." Julia said, walking away.

I turned to Daniel as we sat at the bar and put my hand on my forehead.
"I forgot." I chuckled.
He laughed and shook his head.
"No it's fine. Is that your favorite beer?" He asked me.
"It was the only one I used to drink." I chuckled.
