"Can you be good?" I sighed. "I'll stay with you later. You drank so much wine and need to drink some water. Otherwise, your mouth will be uncomfortably dry after you fall asleep." Theo's gaze was still dazed. He nodded to agree but still did not get off of me.

I pushed him hard. After pushing for a long time but to no avail, I said with a face full of helplessness, "Theo, if you keep doing this then none of us will get any sleep tonight."

Fortunately, he was only drunk and not dumb. He let go of me and let me get up from the bed.

I went downstairs and brought some water upstairs to feed Theo.

When he was done drinking water, he leaned against the bed and closed his eyes.

I was unsure if he was asleep. Seeing that it was getting late, I gave the Louises a call.
