They raced each other through their third and fourth rounds before heading for the dance floor. Nicky counted down from three and they knocked the dust back as a group. Dan took only one packet and dumped half of it into a drink near Allison's elbow. Andrew divvied up the rest, keeping the most for himself since his system could tolerate more than anyone else's. The arrival of more drinks slowed the conversation, but it was the packets of cracker dust Kevin produced that completely derailed it. They were in the middle of a couple harsh critiques when Andrew and Renee made it back.

He's off his program in May and should finish rehab by the time we start June practices." You'll see next summer whether you want to or not.
Nicky was undeterred by his silence and settled for saying, "It's unmistakable. Nicky looked at Aaron as he searched for the right word, but Aaron stared back and refused to help. He's always got something in his system to mess him up. You've seen him go through withdrawal at games, yeah, and we," he jerked a thumb between the remaining four of Andrew's group, "sometimes get to put up with him like he is tonight, but Andrew hasn't been sober in years. "Good idea, bad idea, won't live to regret it idea?" "Letting Andrew be sober for a full night," Dan clarified. Dan watched them go, then spoke up to be heard over the music.
