They came out to celebrate her getting a job & being independent, and they meant to be alone, but this club was always a favorite of Eleanor & their friend's, before & after the new management, so it isn't too surprising to run into them here. That Gavin is out without Shay is a little odd, and while Justin doesn't exactly keep track of Xtina's boyfriends, he knows the one she has with her tonight is not the guy she brought to that last BBQ. Justin only ever came here for Eleanor, and it's still all he's interested in. He tells her bits about the things he's done, to pass the time, to keep her interest, to watch her eyes light up when he tells her about climbing mountains, about diving from cliffs, stories from when he was on the road.

She fixes her dark-eyed stare at him: he knows what's coming, she wants him to do something for her. The club has installed a mechanical bull & a karaoke stage since the remodel: Justin has never tried either & hopes she chooses anything except karaoke. He might have to refuse.

"Ride the bull for me, I want to watch you ride it," she says, and kisses him, rewarding him for the assent he doesn't even have to voice.

Once he gets the hang of it, he decides it's actually kind of fun, but only if you factor in the look on Eleanor's face, flush red with excitement: she got more out of watching him ride than she expected, it would appear. Doing anything for her is always worthwhile, even dealing with the hellbeast mother ended up paying off: Eleanor ended up free & finally told him she loved him.
