Jennifer grabbed a glass of liquor and downed it in one gulp.
The burn was searing, but it cleared her head.
She stared at the empty glass and suddenly realized something.
Tonight’s banquet had been going on for nearly two hours, but Brayan hadn’t touched any alcohol.
Jennifer figured Brayan’s stomach problems must have flared up.
