( a sigh fell from her lips as she ran a finger along the rim of her, now, empty glass. lost in thought she stared out the window, wondering if, perhaps, there had been anything she could have done to salvage the meeting, because it had been nothing short of a train wreck. she didn't drink often ( for a multitude of reasons ) but tonight she saw fit to indulge in a couple of drinks. if she could forget all about this afternoon, then maybe there would be some hope for the remainder of her trip yet. )
