'And how are you doing in this heat?'

When you're drunk, the first thing you lose is your ability to hear.

She was three drinks in and decided to shift the conversation from the everyday trivial to more important issues.  "I think he will propose" she blurted out, unleashing a demon that weighed heavy on her heart.
