Nicky was strong but Booker had a few pounds on him. Like Joe he planted his feet and held steady while Nicky swayed. His drunk balance was much better. He caught Nicky's arm since the other man still hadn't let go of his shirt.
"Easy there. I know you want to lie down but not there. The stairs would murder my back." Booker waited until Nicky stopped swaying and then let him have another minute to make sure he was good before he started up the stairs again.
There were more than he remembered but given the size of the house Booker shouldn't be surprised it felt like forever getting up the stairs. He breathed a little easier once they were on the top floor. "I'm going to plant myself between you and Joe and sleep for a week. That good with you, ma meilleure moitié?"

He looked between the two men to be sure.
