There was something different about Ralia that night. She seemed soft and easy going, maybe it was her drink too but Edna couldn't tell however she didn't mind the least. She just seemed to enjoy seeing Ralia this way. Who knows, maybe it was the only time she was ever going to see her in this mood.
After they had enough drinks, they headed out to get a cab. Edna had a lot to drink and was a bit tipsy so she stayed behind while Ralia got the cab and helped her into it. They stopped at Ralia's apartment because Edna was too drunk to tell her where she stayed. Carrying Edna one one hand, they finally managed to go into Ralia's apartment. She lay Edna on her on her bed and retired to the couch in her living room. She was so tired from the day's stress topped with the drinking, she slept off in an instant.
