Mary Alice Reed winced as her cousin Finn lifted her Jack and Coke in a toast, and drained half the glass, seeming to take it for granted that everyone agreed. Mary Alice leaned toward their friend Presley and asked, "How much did she have to drink before you got her here?"

Mary Alice plucked the glass from Finn's hand.

"Heeeeeey."
