Elliot had thought that the woman he spent that night with was Avery!
He would never have touched Zoe if he had known it was her
On the other side of the city, Avery was having dinner with a few good friends at Golden Beach Street.
If it were not for the care and support of her friends, she would not have been able to get back on her feet so quickly after her mother's death.
Although the thought of her mother's passing continued to pain her, Avery was not so impulsive as to go down with Wanda.
Mike poured Wesley a glass of wine, but Wesley declined, saying, "I drove here."
Avery then poured Wesley a glass of juice and said," Wesley isn't a good drinker. I'll drink with you tonight, Mike!"
"Are you underestimating me, Avery? My tolerance is pretty good!" said Tammy.
"I know it is, but Jun already told me to keep an eye on you and make sure you don't get too drunk."
Tammy grunted nonchalantly, then began to drink with Mike.
"Pace yourselves, you two. I called you out tonight for some good seafood, not for you to get drunk..." Avery cautioned.
"What's so great about seafood? What's a party without booze?" Mike said.
Tammy chimed in, "Exactly! If we're going to have a party without booze, then we might as well just sit at home and munch on some peanuts!"
Avery decided to ignore them.
After a few drinks, the two began to drunkenly banter.
Once Avery was done peeling shrimps and crabs for her children, she began to eat.
Noticing that Mike and Tammy were immersed in their drunkenness, Wesley turned to Avery and said," Eric really wants to thank you personally, Avery."
"He should focus on rehab for now. We can meet once he's able to stand on his own two feet."
