Alex didn't plan on drinking tonight. And, in fact she shouldn't drink, but she knew she could stick to one drink and only one drink. The problem became if she consumed more than one. Calling Kenny for sex? Not a problem. Calling Kenny for drugs and sex? A definite problem. Alex at least recognized triggers and tried to avoid them.
She ordered a strawberry margarita, but decided to make hers a mocktail version for now. Then she looked like an adult, without the alcohol. Maybe she'd order an actual drink later? Maybe not.
She pulled herself from her thoughts as a very blonde woman stood next to her, ordering a drink. Alex didn't say You could literally stand anywhere else, because she didn't want people to hate her. More, so she didn't lose her job than anything else.
"Nice dress." Did Alex mean it? She couldn't be sure.
