That's All That Matters
Mid-Afternoon at The Fortress
"What did you call me here for?" Daniel sat down at the bar next to his brother. A few minutes ago, he received a text message from his brother who rarely calls him for some drinks and not one especially at that time of day. And when he got there, Liam was already on his third shot of whiskey. "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, Liam. What are we doing here?"
Liam remained quiet. He was obviously not himself and his brother noticed it. Growing up with his little brother, Daniel had always found him as a rather cheerful person but the person sitting next to him was a dismal one. Just what happened to this guy that he became like this?
Sighing, Daniel guessed that it must be something serious. He signaled the bartender and ordered a shot for him as well.
"Danny," Liam called, a name that he only called his brother when he was still a little boy.
