A few minutes into the game after Stellar and Yanyan came back from the loo, Stellar was already hiccupping from all the wine she drank.
Her head wobbled left and right as she was losing control of its weight.
Peering to her side, she smiled at Holden when he held her up, using his body as her pillar to lean on to. "Thank you, handsome. Our national treasure, right, Yanyan?" she slurred.
She snorted upon seeing a slumped Yanyan sending her thumbs up.
"See? I told you." She then bopped her finger on Holden's nose before she hiccupped, her chest heaving as she spoke.
Holden stifled a smile. He couldn't understand a thing of what Stellar was saying, but she looked relaxed and content that a smile curled on his lips.
Suddenly, Stellar fell backward and Holden's reflex kicked in, catching Stellar before the back of her head hit on the ground.
Ejecting from their seats, Cooper and Yanyan rushed to Stellar and pried her away from Holden's grasp as if Holden was an enemy.
