He picked up the glass and started frantically downing whiskey, one full pour after another.
Soon, he emptied the entire bottle.
Rowan didnt stop him; he just watched calmly as Marco drank, an unreadable expression on his face.
Without any feedback from Rowan, Marco kept drinking.

What a deep drinker! he said, impressed.
Loraine tolerated the scene and sat patiently until Marco started on his fourth bottle.
This is boring, and Im tired, she announced.
The two men turned to her at the same time.
Tired? Well, thats enough for today, then. Lets go. Rowan shrugged his shoulders.

Where are you going? Ill drive you. Marco raised his head and looked into Loraines eyes.

Mr. Bryant, you are intoxicated. Why even offer? Mr. Torres will see me home. Loraine raised her hand, trying to free her arm from Marcos grasp.
Instead of letting her go, however, Marco tightened his grip. No, dont go with him. I dont trust him. Ill see you off myself.
You brat! Who are you talking about? Let her go! Rowans face darkened with rage.
No way! Marco met Rowans furious gaze, unflinching. No one can hurt her as Long as I am around.
At this, Rowan burst into Laughter.
If it werent for Loraine, he would have given this ridiculous, self-righteous man a good kick.
Loraine shook her head, silently warning him not to react.
She raised her head and looked at the man who claimed he was trying to protect her.
Ridiculous, indeed!
Marco had ignored and tortured her for three years. Now, all of a sudden, he changed his mind about wanting to take care of her just as she had given up on him.
