Yes. Trying is all we can do, I think.

[The kiss isn't a surprise, but it does feel like a strange little jolt nonetheless. She takes a moment to just... enjoy the warmth, and the closeness. Even if she knows she probably reeks of booze, and her depression is clearly kicking her ass. This is Maria's way of being possessive. Another thing she rarely truly is, because she never wants to stifle another, but right now she's too drunk to care.

This is her outlaw. And she will cuddle said outlaw as tightly as she wants to. Which is pretty tightly, even after she realizes she should move over a little to get more comfortable on the actual bed so there's not two hundred-some pounds of Hunter causing joint problems for Ashe in the morning.

She also moves up to nuzzle into Ashe's neck and shoulder. It's warm, and soft, and smells like her girlfriend, and right now that's what Maria needs. Even if she's not going to fall asleep, no matter how drunk and depressed and exhausted she feels otherwise.

Because that image keeps coming back. Every time she closes her eyes for more than a moment. Nothing to do but to outwait it.
