Jared took a moment to enjoy his beer. Emily had come back, and everything seemed fine. Jared prided himself on reading Emily well. Whatever had happened with Rachel had been dealt with. Emily ran to the floor and began to join in the festivities. As everyone knew, the bride controlled the party and the crowd responded to her enthusiasm. When she looked his way, Jared raised his beer to her and took a drink.
Jeremy approached him with a familiar small box. "Smoke?" he asked opening the cigarette box.
"Nah," Jared said. "I quit."
Jeremy gave him a surprised look, mentioned he'd find him for a beer later and left to poison his lungs. Quitting had been a good idea. Jared really felt like he could breathe again - and Emily barely ever refused kisses anymore. Jared smirked at the thought and made his way to the bar. Jay and Kiriena were talking and it looked like Kiriena was drinking an old fashioned.
"I'll have one of those too," Jared said, pointing at Kiriena's drink.
