Her glass lay askew, spilling a neat trail of Liquor.
Peter couldn't help but express his exasperation.
“This woman! Always the one to steal the spotlight! And now she’s truly outdone herself." Ever considerate, Edwin draped a coat over Lina and gently encouraged Peter to drink more. Peter couldn't help but feel a certain wariness toward Edwin. Where had the young man acquired such an impressive alcohol tolerance? He had intended to avoid excessive drinking, but Edwin possessed an uncanny knack for pressing his buttons.
A few words from Edwin and Peter were soon drawn into the drinking fray.
By evening's descent, Peter had succumbed to the influence of alcohol.
Beyond the window, the autumn rain cascaded, drenching the yellowed, withered leaves that lay scattered across the somber gray pavement, their plight accentuated by the downpour.
Absorbed in contemplation, Edwin lingered by the window.
A commotion from the bedroom drew his focus.
Laura emerged, encountering both her parents in inebriated states.
Her mother was sleeping on her bed, while her father sprawled on the sofa, mouth agape, producing a symphony of snores.
Laura wasn't naive enough to overlook Edwin's underlying intentions.

Suppressing her emotions, she uttered brusquely, “Leave!” Edwin remained motionless, his dark eyes locked onto hers. His intentions remained a puzzle, even to himself; all he knew was that he yearned to be near her.
Laura endeavored to retreat to her bedroom.
Yet, after merely a couple of strides, she found herself ensnared from behind.
