Ray laughed along with her, glad to see that she wasn't in such a melancholy mood anymore. Sharing a bottle of wine, or any alcohol, generally required the mood to be happy and relaxed.
When she elbowed him, he instinctively wrapped his arms around her. As she looked up at him, Ray couldn't help but look at her. She seemed to have so much potential, and he was glad that she was finding her footing. The moment was broken a moment later as she settled back against him after setting her empty glass on the table. He finished off his own glass and set it next to hers, before settling on the couch, content for the moment and having no desire to move.
