Jess was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, she really needed it after everything that she had gone through. She returned the hug as tight as she could manage in her weakened state and smiled; something that she hasn’t done in a while. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the moment before pulling back a bit.
“You’re really happy today, Josh! Did something good happen?”
Jess took it without hesitation, offering Josh a soft thanks as she opened the bottle with shaking hands. On a night like this, she really needed it. She plopped herself down on the couch and took a swig. Drink to forget, she distinctly remembered people saying. She guessed that was what she was doing now. Drinking to forget everything that had happened to her, the things she had done.
“I.. I really needed this. Thank you.”
She offered the bottle back to him, giving a weak smile.
“It’s no fun to drink alone.”
