You don't get the chance to choose when and where the haze hits you.

Driving? better draw over quick or you'll cause a fifty-vehicle accident.

At work? check-in and run for the hills or you and your boss may turn into significantly more than work associates.

As I plunked down to supper, I prayed it wouldn't hit me while I was with my family, the most exceedingly awful conceivable spot, in my mind.

As I arranged the table and serve a plate of the home made casserole to Beatriz, I peered toward the back door, if I needed to make an improvised departure.

I plunked down to eat with the entire family, who were at that point in a vivacious discussion.

 "What is it, William?" my mother stated, gesturing her head towards my sister's mate. "You've barely said a word since you strolled in. How's work?"

"You don't need to answer that, Will," Bea stated, giving mother an amused glare.

"Well"- William laughed - "in case you're requesting tattle about our initiative, Halley, you do realize I can't reveal that sort of data, right?"

"not so much as a gesture to verify or refute?"

"MOM," Beatriz said. "He's the pack's head attorney. his responsibility is to KEEP their secrets."

"But..." Mom sighed. "I don't need to know anything of consequence. Only a little chatter. Like... Is it true that our Alpha and Jane are not, at this point an item and now she's dating his beta, Marlow?"

"MOM," Bea and I said as one.

Williams grinned. "I plead the fifth."

"Goodness Gracious, you're NO FUN , all of you."
