“Uhhh… I think I’ll be okay for now, I can get some water later.” you declare. Rochelle and Morgan seem slightly disappointed at losing a chance to be alone with you, but their mood’s change as you half stumble and step towards more open ground. “You two still wanted to dance, right?” you ask playfully, holding out your hands. The girls step towards you, with Rochelle taking your right, and Morgan your left. Joined together, the three of you began to shuffle and sway to the music. Every so often you would raise one of your held hands, letting the girls spin on their toes. While calling it “dancing” would have been a generous term, you were still having fun, and it was clear the girls were as well.
With the song winding down, you found yourself slightly dizzy, and the girls helped you settle back down in your seat, once again sitting on either side of you, pressed up as close as they could get.

he didn’t even know what to do with all of that, so he just up and gave me about half a bible’s worth.” Ben was saying to Bryce, as he handed you back your cup of wine. The shirtless man’s eyes were slightly bugging out, and he let out a low whistle.
“
Daaaamn! So, what are you gonna do with it all?” he asks your friend, then finishes off his bottle of High Life. Ben just chuckles, and shrugs.
“Well, he paid it forward, so I figured I’d do the same. So yeah, if you wanna explore the
life cosmic later, I’m down.” he replies. You were about to ask what they were talking about, when your stomach began to bubble. You then glance down at the cup of wine in your hand. Did you
really want to risk having another glass?
YES!

You shudder. It was that voice again, this time it practically shouted into your ear. Well, as it said it earlier, in for a penny, in for a pound. Without further hesitation, you guzzle down the cup of wine. Thalia’s eyes widen, and she lets out a bleating laugh.
“Hey! That’s meant to be savored, not slammed!” she observes, and sips her own glass. You hold your breath for a moment, as the wine settles in your gut, slowing down the bubbling for now.
“It uh, just seemed like the right idea at the time.” you reply lamely, your vision swimming slightly as your mind fell into a deeper haze.
