She didn't want to drink at home, fearing she'd be scolded by her parents if they saw.
With more than half a bottle of red wine down, she suddenly felt lonely. She found her phone call log and dialed the first number without seeing the name or note clearly.
James Harris had already gone to bed but was awakened by the phone ringing.
In a daze, he saw Effie Wilson's number. Instantly wide awake, he glanced at Jasmine Hughes lying beside him. He answered the call, then tiptoed into the bathroom.
"I'm at Time Enchantment City, drinking alone and feeling so bored. Are you free?" Effie's voice carried a drunken tone.
"Are you feeling down?" James's voice was gentle.
"Brother Daniel left, and I'm so sleepless. Are you coming? If not, I'll call someone else."
"Give me half an hour."
Such a golden opportunity, James wasn't going to miss it.
