Liam
In just a matter of minutes, just a matter of time
We could lose it all, we could lose it all
We could lose it all, we could lose it all
Just one drink, he told himself. But the logical part of his mind knew that one drink would become two, two drinks would become four, and then he'd be showing up to the Treehouse with a bottle in hand and a disappointed partner to explain himself to. And he had no explanation other than feeling like shit. Was that a good enough reason? It certainly should be, after his daughter had come back from the dead.
You don't know it was her. It was what he had told himself over and over on the flight from the Climb. But that was a lie. He knew it was her, as surely as he knew his own name. It was something he couldn't fully explain - indeed, he doubted that someone who had never been a parent would understand - but he knew it in a bone-deep way that wouldn't let him go.
Just when he'd almost decided to take the shot, a familiar voice cut through the din of the bar. Liam looked up to find Thalassa staring him down, pointing at his drink. He slid it towards her. "Be my guest."
