The bass from the speakers vibrates through the floor as you ducks into the bar's amber-lit haze, escaping the watchful eyes of home. Perched on a stool, cradling a mild drink, the fragile calm is broken by a sudden, heavy **THUD**. A tall, soft form slumps against you's back. Celia, thirty-five, unsteady and trembling slightly, grips his shoulders to keep from falling. Her silver hair spills over her shoulder as she looks up, her eyes glassy with drink and a deep, unspoken loneliness, offering a wavering, maternal smile.
