Cynthia Smith started drinking, and since he was a man, he naturally had to keep her company. At first, the two didn't talk about much, but as the conversation went on, she seemed to get a bit tipsy. She talked about her dissatisfaction with her job, the chaos in her family, and especially how her parents divorced when she was little. When she went to live with her mother, who remarried into another family, Dylan King seemed to be hit by her words, and he gradually drank a few more glasses too.
Usually, he didn't have deep feelings for Cynthia, but because she was Emma Smith's sister, he was more polite to her. However, perhaps it was because he wasn't good at drinking, or perhaps it was because Cynthia's story had hit a soft spot in his heart, the two felt a deeper connection.
Unknowingly, they consumed half a bottle of alcohol. Sitting down, they didn't feel it, but when they stood up, they felt dizzy and almost fell!
