Patrick's Plight
“His feet hurt, his hands hurt, and if he saw one more ounce of liquor he’d puke. The night had been endless, and when he’d tried to cut off a particularly drunk customer, the man had become verbally abusive.
How could Patrick have known the guy had just won half the bar in a poker game? Creepy Niley had pointed out Patrick could save his job if he did some work on his knees. Patrick had thrown his last client’s drink in his boss’ face and stomped out of the bar. He hadn’t even had the sense to ...grab his tips.
“Damn I’m an idiot,” he whispered to the empty living room. Sinking into the couch he planted his face in his palms. Tears seeped through his fingers as his trembling hands couldn’t hold back the onslaught.
“Shh… Pat,” Oliver’s rusty voice reached his ears, and a warm arm wrapped around him.
“Shhh… I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be a burden to you.”
Patrick turned his face into Oliver’s shoulder and let it all out. All the fear, the pain, and the uncertainty poured out of him like a flood.MoreLess
