Tatyana resisted the urge to roll her eyes at the comment about life being better with people to share it with, but she did shake her head at it. One person had always been enough for her. And he was gone. She wouldn’t replace him with another. Sometimes Zeke seemed that way though. She had taken her to Almaz - something her father would have done if he was still alive she wondered at that. Was she replacing her father with Zeke? But as for sharing her actual life - no - she really didn’t do that.
Tatyana finally took a bite of her food, and was surprised at the flavor. It was almost like Hayden’s drink. It was an odd experience after having bland food for so long - and it was good enough for a name. ”Tanya,” she said, taking another bite. One bite had been enough to awaken the hunger in her.
”Okay,” she said after eating a bit in silence. ”Ill come sober and plan it better so that the withdrawals aren’t so extreme either.” the symptoms didn’t come right away. It took time. If she timed it right, she could show up as the high was ending. The focus would be easier then.
