After talking to Slater Deacon had had every intention of hitting his favorite tennis court, and working out some stress. That was what he normally did whenever he felt that things were getting to be a bit too much for him.
There was nothing quite like landing a tennis ball in the net over and over. The racket moving is an extension of himself.
But now Deacon believed he had found something that was almost as good.
A wine and whine session, as it turned out, consisted of him and Slater drinking wine and whining about anything and everything.
The last time that Deacon had drunk alcohol with Haley Slater he had woken up married to her.
That should have made him very wary of touching even a drop of alcohol with her nearby. But the wine and whine session was exactly what he needed. Most of the time Deacon kept his feelings on things to himself, not sharing with a single soul.
