Gerald simply couldn’t ignore the fact that he was truly the one at fault that time.
Shaking his head, he then headed out to get the two bottles of red wine they had requested.
To his surprise, once both of them got their drinks and started downing the wine, Hillary told Gerald to help them pack their suitcases as well.
It was as though he personally worked for them or something. Fortunately, Alice had other things on her mind so her eyes never really focused on him.
By the time he was done packing everything for them, both bottles of red wine were now empty.
Though Alice was clearly tipsy at this point, she still insisted on having more wine. Gerald had no choice but to heed her orders.
Just as Gerald was finally prepared to leave, however, Alice started retching before flopping to the floor!
She had obviously drunk far too much, far too quickly. Hillary herself had already retired for the night by the end of the second bottle, and was now lying on her bed, unconscious.
“Drink! I still want to drink!” said Alice between sobs.
