Blessing
“His head felt as if it had been split in two. He could barely open his eyes, and hammers pounded behind them. He slowly sat up. A mistake. Dropping to his knees, he quickly snatched his chamber pot and retched. When the heaving finally ceased, he slid to the floor and lay on the carpet, gasping for breath.He tried to focus and clear his mind, but clarity eluded him. Flashes from the night before—raucous laughter, standing at a bar with Kennan, scantily clad women . . .He groaned and the sound h...urt his ears. What happened last night? Where had he been? What had he done to feel this way?Gerard lay still, gasping for air and forcing his mind to work. Eventually he recalled meeting Kennan after his interview with Smith. They’d gone to his neighborhood tavern . . .But they hadn’t stayed there. He’d intended to go home afterward. Why hadn’t he?He rubbed his face with both hands. In his youth he’d often suffered morning-after spells from overindulgence, but he’d never experienced one where he couldn’t recall what he’d done the night before.MoreLess
