Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

“You shouldn’t drink on an empty stomach.” Though her words were soft, the meaning was clear enough.

Lillian had a sensitive stomach when it came to alcohol. Daniela knew that Lillian was teaching Joyce a lesson and wasn’t actually planning to drink, so she’d let her enjoy herself a bit. However, seeing that Lillian was beginning to overdo it, Daniela decided it was time to step in.

There was no reason to let Lillian hurt herself for someone who didn’t matter.

He recalled those times when he’d gotten so drunk that he passed out, and Daniela would drive all the way to pick him up. She’d carefully carry him, taking one slow step after another, all the way home. The memory brought a subtle softness to Alexander’s expression. His usually sharp eyes grew gentler, a hint of tenderness appearing as he glanced at Daniela.
