30 I’d been at Nate’s a good couple of hours before a phone call came in from Brook. “She thinks I’m drunk,” she said when I asked how things were. “Are you?” I asked, leaning back against the pillows on the bed in Lia’s room. “Of course I’m not.” “She totally is,” came a voice in the background. Liv’s voice. “Is Liv drunk?” I asked. “She’s definitely tipsy,” Brook said. Liv’s giggle carried down the phone. Not high pitched like a girly giggle, but deeper and seriously f*****g hot. It really made me hope to someday see her tipsy for myself just so I could hear it first-hand. “So, I won’t be home tonight, you’re all alone,” Brook said in a semi-playful tone. I pushed up onto my elbow. “What do you mean?” “My new friend won’t let me drive.” “She’s not driving,” Liv said in echo.
