Another part of his bad mood was undoubtedly caused by the hangover he nursed, a reminder of the pleasant dinner they’d had with Lord and Lady Spencer last night
I actually did a little research on that.
I wanted to jump inside the mind of a Hayes boy, one that was a little twisted. We'll see how well I do, but I don't see him as being much like Brad.
