By the time Sylvia got home, she was completely drained. She collapsed onto the couch, barely able to move, when Ms. Ward knocked on the door.

When Sylvia opened up, Ms. Ward walked in holding a steaming pot.

"Heard you come in, hon. I made you some bread pudding-your favorite, isn't it?"

Sylvia got up and brought out the rest of the wine she had stashed away.

Ms. Ward looked surprised. "Bread pudding and now more wine? You sure?"

Sylvia smiled as she poured. "Just a little to help me sleep. Long day. I want to turn in early."
