Ruined Second Chances || Bailey and Chris
Slipping away from the house while Roza slept was risky, but Chris was going stir-crazy and he needed to be somewhere else, even if only for a few hours. His feet lead him to a seedy bar without his mind even realizing it, but Chris offered up no complaints. It would probably be a day at least before Val got him any drugs, and alcohol could do in a pinch.
Chris sat down at the bar, nodding the bartender over and starting up a tab. He wasn’t planning on leaving until just before Roza was due to wake up; it would be easier to keep from arguing with her if he was asleep, and it would be easier to sleep with a little whiskey in him.
He was sipping on his first glass when someone sat next to him, a flash of blonde hair and a whiff of perfume. He glanced over with some interest, and there was something familiar about her features. “Do I know you?” he asked dryly, downing his glass and waving the bartender over for a refill.
