Even though he had been clean for a while now, Roy often went to the meetings. He knew people needed all the support they could get. Plus, he kept hoping Rose would show back up. He knew she had gone out of town but that had been months ago. And he was starting to get worried (not that he'd ever admit to such).
So as he sipped on the coffee (wasn't too terrible but it was no Starbucks either), he caught sight of someone familiar and felt a bit of relief, though he frowned a little at the notepad and the gesture to her throat.
"Hurt your vocal cords or something?" he asked when he moved over to stand beside her.
