Penny was giggling like crazy. There was nothing funny going on. It was obvious to Leonard what the reason for her laughter was. It was clear from the way she was walking and slurring her words. She was drunk.
Normally he would be annoyed by this. If it was his sister he totally would have gotten mad but this was his girlfriend. He loved her. She was going on her 12th drink and he decided it was time to cut her off. Gently he wrapped an arm around her.
"Come on pretty Penny," he said gently, "I think it's time to go"
"Okay," she slurred then giggled again.
She fell asleep so he scooped her up and carried her to her apartment where he gently tucked her into bed. He stroked her hair as she slept.
The next day Penny woke up. Her head was pounding. She ran to the bathroom and threw up but she found that Leaned was there by her side. He was rubbing her back.
"Hey pretty Penny," he said gently, "How do you feel?"
"Like I had been run over by a truck," Penny groaned.
"Here," Leonard said, "Drink this"
He handed her something to drink.
"I'm never drinking again," she said gulping down the drink he gave her.
"Good," he said, "I was worried about you yesterday"
Penny never did drink again. The natural punishment of the hangover made it not worth it but the drink Leonard gave her took away the pain of the hangover.
