"We know, but the worst is over so why not relax a little bit?" reasoned Eliza. She poured a glass of wine and placed it on the table across from her. "Come on, it's only one drink. It's not like you'll get drunk from a few sips."
The young hero sighed as he smiled and shook his head. He took a seat, grabbed the small glass, and took a sip. "Wow! Where did you get this stuff?"
