Hayden poured her a glass of rum. Not a shot. A glass. That was nice. "When I drink, I'm usually using my meds too. This might not do anything." With her luck it wouldn't do anything.
Tatyana drank the glass anyways, gulping it down instead of sipping. Hayden continued to talk, but it was less talkative than she remembered. He talked a lot. Nox talked more. She was glad he wasn't here. Hayden mentioned that Mckenzie didn't like Nox.
Good. He killed her parents and then has to come back and remind them by showing his face at the church all the time. All to assuage his guilt for being a murderer. she thought. Nox deserved her hate.
The booze wasn't going to help. She was sure of it. Her hands would continue to shake. Then she would lose focus. Then it would get worse. And she had no timetable for when she was getting any. "The kids are fine. There are just a lot of them and they're excitable."
