Slack lips and jaws, heavy-lidded eyes, slurred speech and half-lidded eyes began after only four or five sips of the drinks. The girls pocketed the o...her unlit cigars - no sense in letting a good smoke go to waste - and when Dr. Coates, the last of them to succumb, let his head fall onto his arm, Courtney took out her cell phone and dialed the number scrawled in a bubbly, rounded hand and surrounded by hearts in pink ink on a pink Post-it."Hey, baby," Courtney bubbled in her best Jenny.
