I suddenly felt alone and wished I had the guts to take advantage of the driver. I needed to chill so I put the wine bottle on ice and drew a bath. I ...it a couple of scented candles instead of using the lights and stripped down. As the tub was filling, I went back to the kitchen and retrieved the wine. I didn’t bother with a glass. I sat back in the very warm tub and took a big swig of the wine. This certainly wasn’t how to enjoy the taste of the wine, but I was more interested in the alcohol. " You reap what you sow."

And she only had a couple bucks in cash in her wallet. So she went to the vending machine, and got a candy bar and a bag of chips. That and a cup of coffee, would have to serve as lunch! And without breakfast that morning, the afternoon was going to be a hungry one! She made it through the work day.
