GET TOGETHERS

Tom let out a loud laughter.

It was either he couldn’t believe his ears or his grandson was drunk to the bones.

“She cheated on you?!” He yelled at Astley.

“I don’t even want to know what had happened, fix it before I fix you!” Tom stormed out of the room, leaving the rest of the family hanging.

Present Day….

It was twelve minutes past two am.

Astley was wide awake. He still couldn’t get his mind off the events that took place at the award show.

He finally realized that he had unknowingly set a trap for himself. He chose to believe an outsider, rather than confirming the information with his partner.

Astley could see that Scarlett had moved on from whatever was between them. In her eyes, Astley was no more than an old acquaintance…if he was lucky, an old colleague.

He needed something to help him sleep and forget what had happened. Astley took a gulp of the strong wine he had by his bedside.
