He would have to have a proper chat with his cousin now that he was back on his feet. Well, mostly back on his feet. Between the drugs and the hit to his head, standing turned out to be more of a challenge than Jovani anticipated.
Keeping his balance with both his hands carefully placed on the edge of the bed, Jovani shut his eyes. Focusing on the darkness that greeted him behind his eyelids did little to stop feeling like the whole world was spiraling around him.
Jovani would've welcomed the bitter taste of alcohol at the back of his throat and the accompanying hangover to the way he currently felt. This was why Eve always told him not to mix drugs and painkillers. Meh. Whatever didn't kill him would just help to make him stronger in the long run.
