The Hollow (2010)
The Hollow
“HE COULD call Gage, who’d sit and drink coffee or club soda, bitching only for form, and spend the evening in some bar getting steadily shit-faced. Cal would go, too; he had only to ask. That’s what friends were for, being the company misery loved.
Or he could just pick up the beer—maybe a bottle of Jack for a change of pace—take it to Cal’s and get his drunk on there.
But he knew he wouldn’t do either of those things. Planning to get drunk took all the fun out of it. He preferred it to be a ha...ppy accident. Work, Fox decided, was a better option than getting deliberately trashed.
He had enough to keep him occupied for the rest of the day, particularly at the easy pace he liked to work. Handling the office on his own for an afternoon added the perk of giving him time and space to brood. Fox considered brooding an inalienable human right, unless it dragged out more than three hours, at which point it became childish indulgence.
