Title: Head for Drinking
Author: S J Smith
Rating: Teen
Summary: Marion reflects on alcohol.
Disclaimer: I swear, I don't own.
She developed a head for drinking long before she should have – if her father had realized, he would've been so disappointed. Which is why Marion never drank around him. It would've been just another thing in a long line of disappointments – Indy, drinking, her dropping out of college.
And Abner Ravenwood would've been horrified to see his baby girl in Nepal – not that she was in the country itself, but that she was the owner of a tavern, that she regularly drank her customers under the table to bring in additional funds. It was a life, though Marion wished things were different – but until she had enough money to leave Nepal, it'd do. She was just glad her father hadn't lived long enough to see her in this state.
Vodka was her drink of choice, though she'd try nearly anything, but she wasn't too keen on kefir, it left a sticky residue in her mouth. As it was, Marion knew when she saw the shadow on the wall, a brown, beat-up fedora coming through the door, she'd need more than that last shot she'd had to get through the night.
