This filled out as soon as I saw the recipe for dark rum mixed drinks, A Kiss Goodnight, and it fit perfectly for a character in distress and another character secretly loving him/her (at the start it was still just bouncing in my head).
Enjoy.

02/26/2014 (Wednesday)- A Kiss Goodnight
She drops by the bar at the end
of every escort service, sitting alone at the corner. Soft light hiding delicate features, shadows
highlighting the severity of life.
I mix her usual, A Kiss
Goodnight. Her red glossed lips trying
to remember how to smile as thanks. I
smile for her.
She takes small sips, licking her
lips at the sweetness of the strawberry vodka, hands trembling as she tries to
forget tonight and every other night. Each
sip stripping away a layer, revealing the beauty hiding inside.
“Could I have another Kiss?”
Of course, tonight and every night after.
