Leo Joyce's words brought Amelia Avery's wandering mind back into focus. She stared at him, her beautiful eyes hazy and filled with confusion.
The truth was, she'd only come here in the middle of the night because she was in a bad mood. What she hadn't known was that Leo Joyce was also back. He seemed to be in an even worse mood than she was—and dead drunk. The moment he saw her, he simply pulled her into drinking with him without a word.
Perhaps the memories of them drinking together and pulling all-nighters to play cards came flooding back. She didn't refuse and began to drink with him.
The entire time, Leo Joyce hadn't said a single word to her, so she had no idea why he was in such a bad mood.
But now, after hearing what he'd just said, how could she not understand?
On any other occasion, she might have offered him a few words of comfort, but tonight, she just wasn't in the mood.
