The night wore on. They slowly got drunker and the music got louder. Noah suspected he was drinking more than the others were, but he needed it. Between Natalia and the boredom of just doing what they’d been doing for the last few years, he needed something to take off the edge. By the end of the night he was wasted.

The pub emptied out and the bar staff were cleaning up the glasses from the tables and wiping them down.

“Not a bad crowd for Friday night,” said Luke.

“Yeah, it went all right.” Cole nodded at Noah. “What are we going to do about him?”

Luke studied Noah for a moment. “We’ll send him home in a taxi with Tessa. He’s her flatmate. She can deal with him.”

He could vaguely remember the taxi arriving and Luke helping Tessa feed him into the back seat.

When they arrived at the flat, the taxi driver helped him out, and Tess handed over her credit card to pay for the ride. Then helped him to the door and stood him up against the wall while she found the key.

“How did you get so drunk,” she asked as she opened the door.

Noah shrugged. After the first bottle of whiskey was empty, he’d bought another.

“Come on. We’ll get some coffee and water into you.”

“Where are the others?”

“Packing up. They didn’t think you’d be much use. I think it’s pretty impressive you finished the last set.” He collapsed onto couch. He didn’t remember finishing the last set. He must have been on autopilot. He didn’t remember Luke saying anything to him either, so he must have done all right.

Why did he get so drunk?

Natalia. Always Natalia.

“She won’t have anything to do with me,” he said when Tessa brought in the coffee, water and tablets.

“Who?”

“Natalia.”

“Why?”

“Eva.”

Tessa looked puzzled. “The daughter?”

Noah nodded and had a sip of the coffee. There was a fair chance it would make him sick. He handed it back to Tessa.

She gave him the glass of water. “See if this goes down better.”

He tried the water. Nearly as toxic as the coffee.

“Yeah,” he said. “Natalia says I’m too young for her because Eva is older than me.” He saluted the air with the glass. “So, fuck her.”

“Fuck who?” asked Tessa.

“Both of them.” He stood up slowly. “I think I need to go to bed.” He stumbled to the door that led to the passageway.

“Do you need a bucket?”

He steadied himself against the architrave. “Probably.”
