"Lynn cradled the glass jug, licking her lips as she watched the wine get foamy from the sloshing. She imagined the wine to be a magic potion. In the ...im greenish light from the dashboard the wine looked like some elixir used in secret rites. She unscrewed the cap and tilted the jug, pouring the sweet dizzying drink down her throat. She would have swilled down the rest of the jug had Harlan not pulled the jug away from her."Easy there, sweetheart. That's enough until we get where were going. I. Sid was distant in some ways, but he seemed like a nice enough guy and Bobby was dying to get him home. They went to Bobby’s apartment. He hadn’t had anyone new over since he started seeing Craig and he was a little nervous. Bobby opened the fridge and started giving Sid a list of drink options…beer…wine…mixed drinks…bottled water? Sid took his jacket off and laid it on the chair as Bobby took inventory of the fridge. The .38 snub nose was in the jacket pocket but he had already decided he. “I was wondering if you could come over tomorrow if you’re not busy but come to think of it you could come over now if you haven’t got anything on. I could make you dinner and you can stay over…”I’d split with my girlfriend three months ago so Friday evenings weren’t exactly full of excitement at the moment.“Ok, I can be there in half an hour if you want…”“Oh, you’re an angel, Steve, promise I’ll make it worth your while.”With that, she hung up.

As time passed by, i came to know mr nandagopal a lot better since both of us used to spend time at our apartments alone as mrs.nandagopal would be off to work in shifts and my husaband was not at all in my home itself. Since mrs nandagopal’s shifts would keep on rotating, many a times, when both mr. Nandagopal and i would be alone at our apartments, he would invite me over to his place for tea/coffee and we would strike up an interesting conversation. He was quite fun to hang out with in his.
