I snickered. Funny how I never noticed that about myself. "Screw Jonathan. Fill my glass to the brim."
I ignored Jonathan's icy glare and tipped my chin at Frederick.
Frederick looked my way before glancing between me and Jonathan. Suddenly, he pulled out a wooden box I knew all too well from behind the counter. "Since we're drinking, let's make it worth it."

was meant for him. You need to let go.”
Jonathan stared at me with a look so cold that it felt like he was trying to burn a hole through my face. “Do you even know what this bottle of wine stands for?” “What else could it mean?” asked, turrowing my brows. “Isn’t it just a bottle of wine?”
