Cassie looked at the list that she made to see if she had everything. Sighing, she said, "Of course I forgot those." What she was hoping for was to be done shopping in five minutes, so she had asked Jake for some help. As it turned out, it took a few hours to shop for a family of ten. Jake's parents were coming, as well as her parents, her brother, and her niece.
She looked at Jake. "I didn't think it would take this long. Could you go grab some salad dressing? I'm not thinking very clearly. I'll go grab the turkey dressing."

Jake followed Cassie. He had agreed to come here because she said it would take 5 minutes. Yet, here they were a couple hours later. He hated how shopping worked.
He then heard Cassie ask him if he could get something, "Yeah, sure thing. I'll be just a sec," he told her and went off to get salad dressing.

Ronnie Chambers was a proud man. When he was sober. When drunk, like so, he had little control over what he did. He walked down the aisle that held the turkey dressing, and was surprised to see his ex-fiancee looking at the boxes.
"Casssie?" he slurred.

Cassie heard someone say her name as if they were just learning to speak. Well, this will be anything BUT good...
"Ronnie. Didn't expect to see you here." She stood a bit gaurdedly, and hoped that Jake was headed back to where she was.

Cassie moved away from Ronne when he moved his arm. "Ronnie, don't!" She kept her eyes locked on him as she realized something. "Ronnie. Are you drunk?"

Ronnie suddenly felt anger flow through him, as Cassie moved. He made a fist and aimed to hit her, but missed slightly hitting the box in her hand instead.

Jake had found the salad dressing after some searching. He wasn't a fan of this type, but he got it since Cassie asked him to. He was on his way back and what he saw wasn't good.
It was Ronnie. And he looked drunk. He had taken a swing at Cassie. Jake hurried over and punched him to the gorund. "Don't. Do. That. Again," he told him angry that he would take a swing at Cassie.

Cassie had seen something strange happen to Ronnie. His drunk feature changed to one of anger. She took a step back, causing Ronnie to miss. She dropped the box, feeling herself about to fall backwards, and grabbed onto the cart, steadying herself. She looked back up to look at Ronnie again but saw he was now on the ground. She drew in a slow breath, calming her speeding pulse down.
She looked over at Jake, hearing "Don't. Do. That. Again." The way he said it made her realize that he was a bit more angry than he ever had been, at least as far back as she could remember. She didn't blame him, but just the same, Cassie walked closer to him, trusting him, but definitely not Ronnie. Ronnie was really drunk right now, and Cassie never knew what to expect whenever he got that way.

Ronnie fell backwards and hit the ground with a thud. "What the-?!" Standing up he looked from Cassie back to Jake. "And if I do?" He narrowed his eyes at Jake. "Wait, you're that one friend of hers that turns into a bird, right?"

"I can turn into more than just a bird," Jake told him ready if Ronnie tried anything. "Now, don't try anything else. Or you might see what else I can turn into," Jake really didn't like the idea of morphing right here, but.....Ronnie just made him so angry about what he had done to Cassie.

Ronnie laughed, and then turned away. "I'll see you around, Cassie Jones."

Cassie crossed her arms as Ronnie said 'Cassie Jones.'
"Ronnie, it's not Jones, anymore. It's Berenson." She said that with a bit of pride in her voice. Even though she made a mistake the first time, she was glad she didn't the second.
"And I highly doubt that you will, Ronnie."

Ronnie swirled back and looked at Cassie, confused. "Married?" Then his eyes changed to a look of skepticism. Even though he probably knew better when he had his mind working correctly, he didn't now. "You went off to get married when you ruined our relationship?"

Jake raised an eyebrow. What the hell did that mean? It was all Ronnie's fault from his perspective. Then again it seemed he was drunk. He wasn't really going to think much about what this guy was saying.
