“Come on, one more!” Kelly’s eyes shone in the dim light of Talbot’s Tavern. She’d been putting back two drinks for every one Aurora could manage, so she was ready for someone to join her in the land beyond the gentle buzz.

“I don’t think I should.” She looked down at the ice melting in her sangria.

“Are you for real?” Tiffany tugged at her arm, just a wee bit more sober than Kelly. “The whole idea of coming out tonight was to get you drunk to forget your troubles!”

“That was your idea. I was ready to stay home.”

“I declare it a triumph, no matter who had it.” Kelly looked dangerously close to getting on a chair to make it all official. “Furthermore, I proclaim that we should adjourn ourselves to Talbot’s after every family dinner you attend!” The grandeur melted out of her voice. “Because you always look like you could use it.”

“That’s the truth,” Aurora admitted, treating herself to another hearty mouthful of sangria. The rich sweetness reminded her of Dane’s lips. Though, to be fair, pretty much everything reminded her of them. They were only ever a flash away from her mind.

The memory of how that kiss had shaken her only made the current situation sit colder in her stomach. With the key witness out of the picture, the trial was on uncertain footing, which was bad for her career prospects, and Dane sticking around. She drained her glass to the ice in hopes of dispelling some of the worry.

“That’s the spirit, girl! Yaaaaaas!”

Ryan flitted up beside her, and Aurora nearly spit out her drink, laughing. She stood with her cheeks puffed out, and a hand under her chin.

“Oh, no, babe! Don’t go wasting that! Here.” He gallantly scooped the glass out of her hands and sniffed it. “Sangria, huh? The next one’s on me.”

Nathan drifted up beside the fabulous fae, stopping just shy of putting a hand on his shoulder. They were in public after all. Not that he’d put a shirt on for the occasion. Luckily, Talbot’s didn’t adhere to a “No Shirts, No Service” policy.

“What are you two doing here?” Aurora asked, delighted at their arrival.

Nathan smirked at her question and nodded his head toward Kelly. “We got a text. Kelly’s not letting any of us miss out on a chance to get you drunk.”

Enough affection lingered in his voice to make Aurora blush a bit. After being at odds with her roommate for so long, it was beginning to feel like they might find some common ground after all. So at least something in her life was looking pleasant.

Ryan trotted off toward the bar, and Kelly started to flit after him. She hadn’t made it three steps before Ronun caught her by the arm.

“Slow down there, tiger.”

“But I thought we were getting another round?” She blinked innocently at him, clearly eager to turn this thing into a full-blown party.

“Tell you what,” he said with an indulgent smile. “Grab me a beer and we can share it.
