"God, yes. Let's get some drinks and maybe steal a tray of those fig and cheese things," They'd been salty and sweet, a perfect combination if one didn't pair them with a drink that wasn't just liquid sugar (but Sharon will because she doesn't care about food and drink pairings).

When they get to the bar, Sharon leans against it waiting for their turn to order, and then places hers. She doesn't know the name of the drink she wants but, after a moment of explanation ("it's pink, it's strawberry, it's sweet and—look what that girl is drinking"), she gets what she wants and beams the moment she takes a sip. Sickeningly sweet and divine.

She offers Tinya the pink drink, "Wanna try?" Tinya may never get the chance to try all the flavors in Starburst candy but she can get an idea of what a pink one tastes like at least.
