"Oh." She wouldn't want that much attention either. People ignored her which she didn't like but imagined the other extreme would be just as annoying. "I can't imagine people always paying attention to me with that much enthusiasm."
Of course, it hadn't occurred to her yet that if she started dating a rockstar that is exactly what would happen.
"I would be happy to share a glass of champagne." She didn't drink often but this was a date. Gloria wanted to have fun and drinking could be fun, in moderation. "I get nervous when I'm presenting but I don't think they'd use it to dismiss me even more if I showed up after having drinks."
That was an unfortunate part of her existence. She always had to be perfectly on point. It was struggle enough just to be heard without giving them fuel to ignore her more.
