Who: Nox and Ana When: Wednesday night Where: her apartment What: drinking!
Ana seemed to be down on herself and a little lost. She'd been keeping people at bay for so long, that it was difficult to cope with how close some of them had become recently. She wasn't ready to lose someone else she cared about, but it was a risk that was impossible to avoid. She needed to let go of those fears and simply enjoy the present. That's what Nox was trying to do. He knew he wouldn't have an eternity with Belle, but there would hopefully be many more happy years, and he planned to enjoy them all. Ana would have to learn to do the same thing. If her heart belonged to Adam, then so be it. It wasn't designed to last, but it was good right now, and that was what she needed to focus on.
But she could think about all that later. Right now, he was happy to provide a distraction. He understood what it was like. Nox couldn't say that he'd never turned to alcohol as an escape from reality. And human liquor just didn't do the trick. Ana was sure to appreciate the Hell liquor he had left over from the wedding. His father had brought several bottles. A few vanished with Hesper, but Nox kept some for himself. He carried one over to Ana's building and knocked lightly on her door.
