( @adellaabernathy ) usually, morris would take an opportunity like this to seek people to go home with, get agreeably intoxicated, and simply indulge in some carefree recklessness (with consideration towards others, of course). but during that party, he didn’t feel as in the mood for mischief as he typically felt. then he saw adella. oh, boy, he was in one of those states, wasn’t he? “hey, beautiful,” he greeted adella pleasantly upon seeing her. he didn’t quite expect her to show up, but he was very glad that she did. “are you swimming?” he asked, trying not to make it obvious that he knew she was with child. “i’m not drunk yet, no.”
