with being in the white house, the days seemed to get longer & more stressful. sometimes heading to the bottle was mellie’s way of coping after she kicked off her heels & headed towards arizona. arizona was also a great way to cope. as she headed towards their bedroom, mellie couldn’t wait to greet her, but she stalled once she opened the door & realized that the blonde got to the booze before she did. the atmosphere itself seemed off center & she could tell that it was because of arizona. almost immediately, mellie wonders if something happened at the hospital -- if she lost one of her ‘ tiny humans ’, as she calls them. without saying a word, the woman grabs the crystal bottle & a glass for herself before heading towards couch, sitting down next to her girlfriend. ‘ tell me what happened, ’ she says softly, taking the top off of the crystal bottle & pouring more scotch into arizona’s glass & some for herself as well. ━━━━ @drmcperky
