Laura Palmer, who was up for anything, if only because she was tired of losing every single time she decided to fight.
Knocking back the last of her drink, Laura made her way over, a wide smile affixed to her face. Already, she could smell the booze on him, the nervous sweat.
That, too, was boring.
