"Let's! Do we have money? Wait, I do." He dug out a handful of coins and tried his hardest to look sober as they headed inside.

Race grinned and marched up to the counter. "We just want a few cannolis," he announced brightly, handing over his money, with a giggling Raven still on his arm. "She's very excited," he explained confidentially to the clerk.

Race nodded and counted out a little more change. "The lady wants pinole cookies." The clerk looked at them both very doubtfully, but filled a bag with their requests. It smelled delicious. Race had no idea how much money he'd just spent--whether it was enough or he was supposed to get change or what--so he just grabbed the bag and Raven and ran out of the store.

Raven sat down beside him. She opened the brown paper bag and took out a canoli. She licked the sweet white cream and sighed. "Delicious."

"Mmmm. Agreed." After a few bites, he started feeling drowsy. "We're gonna wake up here tomorrow morning with massive headaches, ain't we?"
