STORY EXCERPT
Emma tossed back her fourth vodka slammer. She hadn’t even left the flat yet, and already things were getting hazy around the edges. She, and the shot glass, and the vodka bottle were reflected in the mirror. Her face looked bright, made up with colours she had never used before: electric blue eyeliner, obvious streaks of blusher, and her sister’s dark berry lipstick.
You look striking, Charlie would have said.
“I look like a hooker,” Emma said aloud, then burst out laughing. Maybe that wasn’t such a bad thing.
Squinting, Emma checked her watch, and wondered if there was time for another vodka. Then the doorbell rang, and Emma had her answer. She stood, and was pleased that she was only a little unsteady on her feet. Emma had always been the lightweight. Charlie was the one that could drink anybody under the table.
