Chapter XIV
THE CAB DROVE US to a little club my friends had taken me to before. They played all kinds of music and they had great cocktails. I introduced Hesrah to all my favorite songs, we danced (she was unnaturally good at it) and drank. Apparently, she could take alcohol now, while I was pretty much wasted by glass number three. Well, at least my blood had helped with keeping one of us sober.
A little after midnight, we left the club and found a quiet little bar where we could hear each other talk. I ordered coffee, she continued her quest of sampling every cocktail and new type of alcohol she discovered.
“Most of these taste like crap.” She scrunched her nose and glared at the vodka-based cocktail. It looked too sweet and smelled like it. “Why do people drink so much around here?”
