Poppy Prescott stood in the kitchen of her one bedroom apartment, a bottle of vodka in one hand and the other resting on a marble countertop. She poured an ample amount of alcohol in to a tall clear glass and then capped it, pushing it to the side, and filling the remainder of the glass with orange juice. She let out a sigh and tapped her fingertips against the side of the plastic jug several times.
It was a friday night - and an easy one at that. It was the first friday that she'd had off in months. Being the lowest on the totem pole meant she got all of the weekend shifts when others didn't want them. She didn't mind, not really, as she loved her job (she was in training to become a paramedic), but having a weekend to relax... Well, it was a welcomed change. Of course the first thing that she had done after sleeping in until almost noon was fire a message at her best friend, Mike. They'd known each other since... Hell, since the womb pretty much and they'd been pretty much inseparable until high school days were long behind them and work and studying kept Poppy occupied most of the thing.
It was now almost ten at night. Mike was now in her living room and she was three drinks in to what would hopefully be a good night. It felt like ages since they'd last been around each other, but like usual the conversation between them flowed naturally as it always did. The smile on her face hadn't vanished since he'd shown up.
"Mike, you want another drink while I'm out here?" She called to him from her kitchen, which was more a small pathway than anything but it she never needed anything more.
