By late afternoon the bottle lay by his side on the couch, nearly empty. He sat gazing at the TV screen thru his drunken stupor. Dawn was also in the ...oom and had a disapproving look on her face, but she wisely kept quiet. Danny didn't care whether she approved of his drinking or not; after all, she didn't ask his opinion before spreading her legs open for her boss.
