#ball aftermath

Melena groaned when she awoke in the morning. Immense pain was shooting through her head; this is why she never mixed champagne with hard alcohol. Doing so always gave her the worst hangovers. Slowly getting up and out of bed, Melena realized she never even changed after dropping Peter off at home. She got up and headed to the kitchen to make some much-needed coffee. Opening her kitchen cabinets, and finding them empty, Melena slammed the cabinet shut and immediately cringed from the sound it made. Deciding the need for coffee was greater than anything else was now; Melena fixed her hair and makeup so it was presentable in public and headed to the Four Diamonds Café still in her outfit from the ball. The walk to the Café was uneventful seeing, as most people were still asleep or recovering from the festivities of the night before. Sitting down at an empty table Melena ordered a cup of coffee and a glass of water and stared blankly at the wall in front of her.  She wondered if she would see anyone from the night before.
