    Summary

    Sighing, I draw my coat tighter around myself, trying to lock in more warmth to fend off the night chill. I’ve officially hit the point in the Drunk Violet cycle where I begin getting sleepy. “Go home, Xaden. It’s not the first time I’ve waited for a ride drunk.” I narrow my eyes when they flit back to his face. “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything that will make its way back to a reporter.”

    Xaden takes a breath, but he doesn’t take the bait; doesn’t start the argument that will return us to the distance I need us to have. “Violet,” he murmurs, “you know that’s not why I’m here.”

    A scene set during the two-month time skip in chapter 4 of Violet Sorrengail's Guide to Spinning a Scandal, in which Violet goes to a D.C. New Years party after ending her fake relationship with Xaden and does one too many shots with her friends.
