Chapter 28: The Kiss

Gwen blamed the alcohol for that delusion. It was not possible that Finn was actually there. She had been thinking about him the entire night, and now was starting to see things. That man was going to make her insane. But the more she blinked, the clearer his figure became.

“Where have you been?” his voice crossed the air like an arrow straight to her heart. He was pissed, and also drunk. Not that she wasn’t either, but she could tell just by the tone of his voice. It still amazed her how she still knew Finn so well after all those years.

“Finn, what are you doing here? Where’s Steph?” Gwen asked, looking around, searching for her friend.

“She left. I told her that I’d watch Cody while you were out,” he explained, taking a few steps in her direction.

Gwen could see that he was a mess. His shirt was creased, he wasn’t wearing a tie anymore, his hair was messy, and his cheeks were flushed.
