CHAPTER 27 Good Friends

　　Ella's POV

　　So I'm drunk, way too drunk, but I didn't care. Bruno was hilarious! And all the stories he could tell about Ryan made me laugh, so I'm sure he had to pick me up from under the table a couple of times.

　　Luckily, it seemed like most felt like me. Well, maybe not. But the mood and sound that filled the room more than indicated it had turned into a full-blown party! My glass was still only half full.

　　God, this beastwine was strong! I had no idea how long Bruno's arm had been resting on my shoulders, but damned, that arm is heavy! What is this man made of? Wood logs? He laughed.

　　"Did I say that out loud?"

　　"Yes, princess! Yes, you did! And no, that's not where I hide my log!"

　　There was that wink again, and I busted out laughing. I'm ashamed to admit it took me a couple of seconds to wrap my head around that comment, but when it did. It hit home!

　　"Oh god! You are bad! No wonder you and Ryan are such good friends! He's a through-and-through dush bag too!"
