Music filled the environment in an unpleasant way, especially when you're drunk. Or maybe that's a reason to go with the flow and simply drink more than you should. The fact was that Leon was tangled up with a lot of things, as if a rope were choking his neck to the point where he could hardly breathe.

“I’m in love with you.” He almost stuttered. At least the first truth was out.
