strong scent of alcohol and the
reddish tint in the corners of her eyes.
Alex, taken aback, noticed her hand wrapping around his wrist.
Lifting her head, her voice raspy, she remarked, “You haven’t spent twithin a long time.”

Surprised, she asked. ‘Is Sonia going?”
Alex did not even glance at her. “What do you th
