The soft hum of the convenience store's overhead lights filled the quiet aisle as Brandon crouched in front of the chilled display, looking through the glass at the rows of alcohol neatly arranged inside.
He opened the door and reached inside to grab a bottle of red wine, followed by a few cans of premium beer, and then, after a brief pause, plucked a bottle of vodka from the bottom shelf.
Beside him, Ravene leaned lazily against the opposite fridge door "Wine, beer, and vodka? What's the plan?"
Brandon chuckled, standing up with the bottles in his hands "Movie night deserves a bit of everything. Besides, I thought we could all loosen up a little."
Just then, Eira walked up with a small paper bag of snacks in hand.
She paused when she saw what Brandon was holding and raised an eyebrow "I didn't know you drank those," she said, gesturing toward the vodka with a wry smile.
Brandon turned to her with a smile "You don't?"
