It takes a fresh breath of air to snap himself out from the memory, his vision hazy against the night fog and his ankle screeching with a harsh, stinging pain.

It takes but one wrong step to roll his left ankle, falling face first into a hard patch of firm moss and sod.
All of a sudden, he's seventeen again, with a drill sergeant yelling in his ear until tinnitus was a constant, unwanted burden.

"You should eat, Appa says it's almost time for your next dose of medicine."
Evan accepts the plate of food with a quiet huff, looking over the prepared meal.

"Was I snoring?"
He sits up, brushing his hair back from his face and adjusting his shawl.

"Go ahead and wake him. Carefully, please."
Holly takes the plate of food into her hands, making her way to the living room where Evan slept.

Holly sets a few quartered green figs beside the toast, the insides a bright pink and red.

Beside it is a sealed bottle of Grand Marnier, a small one. A fine bottle of orange liqueur, divinely sweet and warm on the tongue.
