Chapter Ten

“Ohhh. Quinn please, turn off that light. It’s too bright!” Ann groaned her request as she pulled the pillow up over her head.

Quinn was in the bathroom and peeked his head out at her. “That’s the sunlight, babe. Can’t turn it off, sorry.”

She pulled the pillow off of her head just slightly and looked at him. She had to squint at the small amount of light that was seeping through the blinds. “Why is it so bright? Are we plummeting to the Sun on a cataclysmic course of destruction or something?”

He wiped the remainder of shaving cream off of his face and walked into the bedroom. He crawled on the bed next to her and wrapped his arms around her, planting a small kiss to the tip of her nose.

“No, we’re not on a collision course with the sun, but I imagine that’s what your head feels like right about now. Here, take these.” He leaned over the bed to the night stand and grabbed the water bottle and aspirin that he set there earlier.

She swallowed them and winced at the energy it took for such a small task. “Thanks.”

“Sure. You okay?”

She nodded yes, and then quickly shook her head no. “I don’t know. I feel pretty bad.”

He laughed at her. “I can imagine. You two were pretty far gone last night. What happened anyway?”

She looked at him as she tried to think of an answer. What had happened? She knew she had been at the restaurant. There was some laughing, no wait, no, that part came later. They were in the kitchen at first and then Derek got upset. Then she…oh, that’s right. She turned her head back to Quinn from its protective position under her hands.

“Derek was upset. He told me about Sandi.”

Quinn hadn’t expected that to be the reason for their dive into oblivion. “Oh shit. Are you serious? I thought he was getting over that.”

Ann shrugged. “I think he tries and usually does a pretty good job, but last night some people were razzing him about what a nice guy he is, and—”

“Oh great. I can imagine how well that went over. That’s like the freaking thorn in his side.”

“I found that out. Anyway, when it was time to leave, he had already started drinking. We talked for a while, he told me everything. And for the record, I’m not a big fan of this Sandi girl.”

“Me either hon. So, how’d you guys end up getting shit faced?”

She expelled a breath and held her hands to the sides of her head, massaging her temples. Quinn saw her discomfort and moved her hands away as he proceeded to massage her aching head for her.

“Mmm…that feels good. Well, at first we were just going to have a toast to hope, you know, kind of like a ‘there’s other fish in the sea’ sort of thing. But one drink turned into two, then two turned into three and I think I lost count after like number seven or eight, or maybe it was nine.
