Chapter 95:

After dinner, Enzo retreated to his room for some shuteye. Jayden and Elyse were about to call it a night too, but their elders had other plans, insisting they join in for a drink.

Elyse, being unable to handle alcohol, started feeling woozy after a couple of sips of wine. Desiring nothing more than to hit the hay, Elyse found herself being escorted back to her room by Brook, who volunteered for the job.
