Re: Nish/Jocelyn - by the pool ~7:30
Nish nodded, smirking. “The closest one to our building, but yes,” she said. She took a deep breath and sighed it out in a huff, looking up and over the water, her eyes catching sight of a few groups of people chatting, some of which she recognized. Her brows rose with interest when she spotted Daniel and Chris chatting, and she studiously avoided looking at Rafe and Gabe. But especially Rafe.
She forced her eyes back to Jocelyn’s. “To be honest, I don’t quite believe it myself. He’s right...I’ve thought I’d kicked it before, but...this is different. I mean…” she paused, trying to find the right way to describe it. “I’ve been...fucking depressed for weeks now, but I haven’t had a drink. That’s gotta count for something right?” She turned, smiling bitterly at the glowing water. “But of course Rob doesn’t believe me. Why would he take the word of an addict over his own judgment?” She kicked her leg in the water a little more forcefully this time, resulting in a spray out in front of them that punctuated her sentence.
