Slowly the sounds from the kitchen receded into the background and the memory of the night before returned to her still foggy mind. It had been her club night at the KSV and she’d spent the whole night in the pub. A pretty wild night for a Wednesday. They had danced, drunk too much beer, and stood on the bar.
