HOTEL BAR
John was left reeling from the letter. He decided to go to the hotel bar and drink through his problems. He knew it wasn’t a good idea, but he wasn’t in the right headspace to be thinking clearly. He had a few drinks and thought about what he was going to do with his life. On his third drink, he began to notice that a woman in a sheer red dress was smiling at him from the other end of the bar.
He tried to ignore her flirtatious smile, but eventually, she came over and sat beside him. She was pretty and he enjoyed talking to her, but he could see that she wanted something from him that he couldn’t give. When she began to make advances, he politely told her that he was married. Flustered, he left the bar and went to his hotel room. He drank water to sober up and looked in the mirror. He wondered what he was going to do to save his marriage.
