BROTHERS CHAT

CASEY watched as Tommy gulped down a glass of hard liquor straight. He then poured another glass and drowned it in one go, before putting it down with a bit more force than necessary. Casey just watched, shook his head, then walked towards the couch and sat down.

The anger he felt in the morning had already subsided a lot. Mostly because of talking to Astrid, and definitely being able to talk and see Emmy again after so long. This day was such a roller-coaster for him, but he was glad it ended it on such a high note.

He couldn't believe that, just this morning, he was thinking of not seeing Tommy and the duke ever again. But now, he could look at Tommy calmly. Most of the anger he felt for the other had now turned to pity.
