Leo, normally reserved, grabbed a tray of canapés and began shoving them into his mouth with barely a glance at the people around him. He sloshed wine over the edge of his glass. He walked straight up to Lisa and accidentally brushed her shoulder as he bumped into someone else. “Sorry," he said, not caring.
