A moment later, Fifi had finished drinking the entire glass of wine. She gave a resounding burp and fell asleep in the glass.

“Fifi!” Jamie grabbed hold of her and pulled her out of the wine glass. He gave Fifi a good shake, trying to shake the droplets of wine out of Fifi’s feathers.

Fifi looked a little dazed. She stuck out her red tongue as her eyes rolled around in their sockets.

“Jamie, put her down right down!” Ellie slid down from the sofa and ran over to Jamie. She grabbed poor Fifi from him and yelped, “You can’t shake Fifi around like this! You’ll make her throw up.”

Ellie still didn’t understand what being drunk meant.

“Oh, alright then…” Jamie frowned crossly. He mumbled to himself, “Girls are too much trouble.”

 

Zachary’s lips curved into a smile. He pulled Jamie to sit down next to him and asked, “Tell me, what else do you like?”

“I like guns!” Jamie said, his head tilted in thought. He said seriously, “I also like airplanes, cars, battleships…basically, I like everything that a man should take interest in, including pretty girls.”
