Jane stumbled from the car with a slight groan, more than eager to get her feet planted on steady earth once more. She actually slid to her knees for a moment they were trembling so badly! And her stomach was churning from the last fifteen minutes of mountain dirt roads…
“Oh stars, I think I’m going to be sick.” she groaned, slumping in her seat as her stomach climbed it’s way down from her throat.
Jane stood awkwardly at the edge of the garden party, fingering her new yellow dress and sipping from her cup as she looked around. This was a bad idea…why’d she come again? Oh right, because Aurora had insisted. She sipped at her drink again, feeling the buzz in her mind. She did feel more relaxed…but on the other hand she was nervous too. Where’d Rory gone off to? Without the blond at her side, she was starting to panic a bit. She didn’t like being on her own at big functions like this…too many people, too close together…
Sam had drunk just enough that the edges of personal boundaries were blurred. That was when he became his more heroic. And his most sarcastic. He spotted a nervous-looking brunette in the crowd and eagerly approached.
“Hey there!” he greeted, a little too loud. “You look upset. Are you okay?”
Jane took an involuntary step back from the loud male, though luckily she had enough alcohol in her system that she didn’t feel the fear she usually did. Liking the feeling, she took another sip of her drink. “I lost my flatmate.” she said with a shrug. “She hurried off, likely in search of her boyfriend…not that I can blame her I suppose, but even so… I hate not knowing anyone.”
