Re: Allison / James
"Frilly drinks?" Allison asked, laughing at James's description of them. "Do you mean cocktails? Only cocktails are good. I'll make you try a Mai Tai, they're less fruity than others."
"A lobotomy might be the word you're looking for," Allison told him before chuckling. "Still not fair. I haven't seen Joe in... Months," The reality was startling and it made her realise she hadn't seen Toby in that long either. Why couldn't she have her son with her? Why hadn't she done it before? Did it make her a bad mother?
Before she could try to think of happier things, tears filled her eyes and she blinked. "Oh shit, where's my vodka. I'm going to cry if I don't have another drink. Say something happy quick."
