Sam stood there holding a glass bottle of amber liquid.
“How did you get that in here?” Zoya asked.
“I explained what I was gonna do with it.” Sam said as she unscrewed the cap and dumped it directly down the sink.
“What was the point of that?” Zoya asked.
“This whole thing was my fault, I was the reason all that vodka was in the apartment.” Sam sighed. “I’m making it official: I’m done drinking for good.”
