Liz had closed the Crashdown that night for a private party, leaving only Jose and a two waitresses as staff. Their orders would be taken once everyone was there then Jose would cook it, allowing them to have a worry free get together. Her kids were with Beth that night so Liz was looking forward to enjoying some adult time with those closest to her. This was something that needed to happen a lot more, that was for sure. Among one of the first to arrived, Liz sat in sideways in a booth, sipping at a cherry coke with Tabasco while leaning back in Max for support. This was nice. This was really nice.
