[Yeah, but Wes has been a vampire a while, and he's been in the dating pool even longer. He notices (20). Totally not because he might be looking himself. But he meant what he said about taking things slow, and when the band takes their last encore, he glances over with a smile.]
So, I got your greatest hits tonight. ( He finishes his beer, stretching his legs out under the table. ) You know, for the first time in a long time I feel like myself again. Like I wasn't just someone else's soldier.
And, look, I - I'm staying at my friend's boyfriend's family's, so I have a lot to figure out. And if you're - involved and you want to do this again, I'd do it.

Yeah. I have many more cover bands for New Jersey based cover bands to show you.
[He's kidding.
Or is he?]
We'll do this again.
