Brian was still fast asleep on the bar's sofa. This was typical for him as, luckily, he wasn't one to get rowdy and loud after drinking too much. He was a sleepy drunk.
Vera tapped his shoulder and tried to wake him up, but Brian didn't react.
Vera smiled; she had a plan. She called a bodyguard to carry Brian out to the taxi.
"Bradley Avenue, please," Vera told the driver. The taxi pulled out into the road, and they set off together from the bar.
Looking at Brian's sleeping face, Vera was sure she would win this time.
When they arrived at her home, she tried to carry Brian out of the car. Although he looked slim when dressed, he was, in fact, quite muscular. So, it was no easy task for Vera to help him up to her house. But after much struggle, she managed to move him.
