Probably waiting for her to come out of the bar, like my
dad use to do my mother and sister.
When we’d be out as a family, my mom would give my dad free reign all night, but when she said it was time to go, she meant it and he knew it.
It still took him a good half hour to get out of the bar because he had to talk to everyone sitting at the bar one by one on his way to the door.
