"James." Abby's sweet voice caught James attention and he darted his gaze to her.
Despite the lack of emotion on his face, he continued to speak softly to her.
"What got you to drink so much? Now come on, let me take you home," He said, to which Abby raised her hands in a foolish smile and motioned for him to come get her.
James couldn't help but sigh and crouch a little to pick her up before he turned and walked inside the building.
Sneering, Daniel watched them and then turned to leave.

James put Abby in bed and said, "Stay here, let me bring you some water." He then left the room and came back holding a glass of water.
Not very inebriated, Abby continued to drink the glass of water while casting a sorrowful gaze at James.
When she was done, she put the glass down silently.
"Why couldn't I reach you earlier?" She asked, turning back to face James.
