It was a good thing that Ashlie hardly had anything to drink (lightweight as she was) and it was a good thing she had only been tipsy and not overly drunken so that when the headache drilled into her temples, it was hardly more painful than when she'd sleep in until 5 pm and couldn't open her eyes. Nonetheless, her hands clamped to the sides of her head and her eyes squeezed shut as she tried to bear the pain.
"Ohhhherrgh!" she moaned. "Ohmimerlin!" She sank down to the ground, pulling her legs to her chest and tucking her skirt neatly so as not to flash anyone her underware. "My Merlin!" she gasped. "My heeeeeeeaaadddd!"
