Right after leaving his house, Kris called Alden to meet him at their usual club. Alden was exhausted after the long night, but he reluctantly agreed, fearing Kris would go crazy if he had no one to talk to.

“So, did you ask your mother about what Karen said?” Alden asked after they had sat in silence for a bit, observing Kris taking shot after shot of vodka.

“Yes,”

Alden raised an eyebrow. “And?”

Kris looked annoyed. “What do you mean by ‘and‘? There’s nothing else to say because Karen is nothing but a manipulative snake. My mother is innocent. She isn’t capable of doing the vile things Karen did to Thalassa. She was just as shocked as I was to discover the truth.”

Alden nodded slowly, feeling a bit relieved. He’d had his doubts after hearing what Karen said, but he was glad Kris had been able to clear it up.

Kris poured himself another shot of vodka and downed it in one gulp. As he was about to pour another, Alden spoke up.

“Dude, don’t you think you’ve had a little too much to drink?” he asked worriedly. When he arrived, Kris had already drunk almost half of the bottle.

Kris shot him a scowl. “I didn’t call you here to lecture me on whether I can drink or not.”

A frustrated sigh escaped Alden. “Yes, you called me here to unburden yourself, but I’m not the one you should be talking to, Kris. The one you should be speaking to right now is Thalassa. Tell me, have you apologized to her yet?”
