The party didn't break up until late, and everyone had been drinking, so they opted for designated drivers to get home safely.

Eugene insisted on driving Sylvia home himself, and amidst the playful teasing of their friends, Sylvia couldn't outright refuse without making it awkward.

Sylvia smiled, "When did you buy this?"

"Just now, while waiting for our ride. Saw the yogurt shop across the street. You've had quite a bit to drink, and I thought this might help settle your stomach. I even had them add in some granola and your favorite dried fruits. Give it a try." His eyes were warm in the dim light.
