"Don't....wave your fhinger...at me..." He slurred, vision unfocused.

"Gale" She warned. "You're done drinking." She said, a little snappier than intended
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"You're a mighty fine miss, miss." Gale rambled, as though he'd made a new discovery.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"So you've said" She said, standing
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"I have?" He asked, standing wobbily.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Yeah. Time to go, mister" She said, renting a room for the night and locking the door once they got in. She sighed, laying Gale on the bed and taking off his boots. She lay a blanket over him, sitting beside him. "You're gonna have a hell of a hangover tomorrow..." She mused

"Oranges are lemons but a different color," He noted, drifting off.
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Uh-huh" She muttered, letting him fall asleep as she stayed awake and alert
|
|  |
|
| |

Gale awoke the next morning, standing and opening the window before hurling a few times before straightening and wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. "Yuck,"
|
|  |
|
| |

|
"Yeah, 14 drinks will do that to you" She said tiredly, not sleeping all night
