~WARNING~

MENTIONS OF BLOOD AND ABUSE AND CURSE WORDS!

~During the evening~

My fingers slid across the keyboard, typing instructions for Lyla.

I love that girl to death, but I knew that if I let her handle talking to other people about our game, our firm would have gone down in flames. So here I was, doing my best to write a solid script for her to speak in front of the other sponsors for the forthcoming game. It was difficult to type out my feelings, but I did it and pressed send. I sighed and threw the phone into the bed before falling back into the soft mattress and making snow angels.

A knock rang out just as I was getting settled.

Tobias must have finished his workout!

I hurriedly unlocked the door, only to run into a staff member.

I recognize him... He was the one who helped me climb off the railing and to safety.

I never got the chance to apologize to him.

"HI!"I smiled with sparkling white teeth. He gave a bashful little smile.

"G'day , Mrs. Nightingale. I'm here on behalf of the crew to present all of the passengers with a package of delicious treats! As a token of appreciation!" He bowed slightly as he handed me the package, his hands quivering and his face flushed.

Aww~He was really nervous.

"Oh, thank you very much for all of your hard work! And I really apologize for the night I was sitting on the railing." I smiled as I caressed the lovely package.

"Well, no, it's all right. You were drunk, but our team, including me, will do everything we can to safeguard you if we offer you alcohol now!" He nervously stroked his nape.

"By the way, that's a really cool prosthetic eye!" I winked as I began to close the door slowly.

"I really appreciate it!" He smiled warmly as he walked away.

I shut the door and examined the brightly colored box in my hands. I'll have some before Tobias returns. Otherwise, he'll hog the entire thing.

I almost moaned when I bit into a piece of chocolate. It was delicious!

It had caramel, milk chocolate, and something else I couldn't place, but it was delicious! I had about 5 more pieces and couldn't stop myself.

It was addictive...

What made it feel...addictive?...

I flipped the package over to check what the ingredients were and noticed the big printed phrases.

'ALCOHOL ADDED'

In shock, I immediately dropped the piece I was holding. SHIT

I dashed to the restroom, cleaned my mouth, and drank plenty of water, but it was too late; I was already feeling a little wobbly. Maybe I can fight it off.

Or maybe not..

I stumbled when I tried to get out the door.

I put my hand on the door knob, only to have the door smash in my face.

"DO YOU KNOW WHO'S BACK?"A voice very familiar to me.

With my vision cloudy and my words garbled, I rose from the floor and yelled at him.

"ROWAN, YOU BIATCH, YOU HIT MY NOSE WITH THE DOOR," I slurred.

Rowan's eyes widened as he snatched a grip of me.
