Her words had their intended effect. Ethan froze mid–step, but

had been sitting untouched. He poured himself a full glass and
held it up. “I need to punish myself for being so unprofessional.”
He downed the first glass, the second followed quickly, and
then the third.
Everyone thought he would stop there. But Ethan was
committed to the act. He kept going, downing glass after glass.
