Violet cried for some time. Her quiet sobs were the only thing that Karen could hear amidst the rustling of leaves and creaking noises of the playground whenever the wind passes by. Silently accompanying Violet and making her feel she's not alone in this moment where she really need someone to be there.
Karen waited for her cries to die down, She randomly grabbed a bottle from the drinks, either way whatever she could grab is still a hard liquor. Poured a little in a plastic cup and handed it down to Violet who was already sitting herself up.
"If it could help, you can vent it out to me. And maybe it could help you feel a little bit better" soothingly said Karen as Violet accepted the drink.
Violet downed the drink in an instant and said, "If you could tell me your story, I'll tell you mine"
"Ok" replied Karen as she rummaged through her bag for tissues and gave it over to Violet.
"Thank you" Violet accepted and wiped her tears away.
