My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Irvin's face darkened. His expression did not look good.

I lifted my hand to take my glass of beer but was stopped by him. With a low solemn voice, he said, "You're a little drunk."

It was really uncomfortable when everybody's eyes fell on me. Plus, Irvin was sort of embarrassing me in front of everyone and that made me feel even more uneasy.
