Chapter 6: Nicole
Nicole was the craziest friend Anya ever had. While everyone around her were slowly adapting to their bodies inching closer to 30s and slowly winding down their party scene, Nicole was holding on to her 20s for her life.
She was single and party was her life. She hated to stay back home after work. She wanted to plan something or the other for every evening. And on weekends, she was a day drinker. And she used to make sure when she got drunk, everyone else around her got drunk as well.
So naturally, when Anya planned a weekend trip for the both of us with Nicole, I was scared. My liver cannot handle that much alcohol anymore. Gone were the days of binge drinking and blackouts. I now drank responsibly and made sure I was in good health.
Friday after office, I drove to Anya’s work and picked her up. Our plan was to meet Nicole at the hotel lobby and checking-in and dropping our bags that evening. We drove for about and hour and a half to reach there, and another hour later, we met Nicole at the lobby.
