Brian managed to keep his cool. He firmly grasped Rachel’s wrists, lowering them as he met her gaze. “Rachel, do you even recognize me?”

Her glassy eyes struggled to focus. Clearly intoxicated, she gave a slow, sluggish shake of her head.

He exhaled a long sigh before carefully helping her onto the bed. This time, she didn’t resist. Instead, she settled in with surprising obedience, shutting her eyes and slipping into sleep almost instantly. Only then did he step out of the room.
