After finally getting through the first round of an interview, not only does he go to work, but he invites a bottle of vodka to join him. But what happens after the bottle is empty will leave him wondering whether or not his drink was spiked.

Life couldn't get much better for Dove, which makes a change from her usual situation of it has to start getting better soon, after being in the centre of rumours that her place in university had been bought by her overly rich and obnoxious parents, showing how little her parents showed about their true selves. Dove's parents all but disowned her after she decided to pursue a career in the music industry, and only refrained from kicking her out of the house for the sake of public appearance. But having nowhere to go after running out of the house when a heated argument between her and her father ends badly, she finds herself winding up in the back of the local library, hiding until closing time.
