Summary: Riggs doesn’t drink to forget



Eyes closed, the taste of whiskey on his tongue, he feels the soft slide of her hair along his skin. The ghost of her laughter whispers softly in his ears. Riggs doesn’t drink to forget. He needs to remember. The sparkle of her eyes, the brightness of her smile. The tug of her fingers running through his hair. His name on her lips. He’s drowning in drink and drowning in memories. Another chug from the bottle and there’s the echo of her footsteps as she walks across the floor. The worst thing left in the world would be to forget.
