I frowned. Ah, there she was.
He’s too good at this, he’s probably slept with every girl here. Why do you think he’d ever be interested in a wallflower like you? He only wants to use you for one night and then get rid of you like a piece of garbage—
I pulled my phone out of my pocket to shut her up. A text badge from Effie bloomed on the screen:
Effie:Gurl he’s in luv w u!!!
My face flared. I couldn’t bear to look up from my phone. If I made eye contact with her, I might sublimate from embarrassment. Instead, I typed back:

Effie: K Spock
Grace:Don’t say our lord’s name in vain.
Effie:Don’t end ur texts with periods, u sound mad
Grace:I prefer to text in complete sentences.
Effie: (why-so-serious joker gif)

Effie: (wanna-see-a-magic-trick joker gif)
Effie:Bet he’s got something bigger than a pencil 4 u tho
Grace: Gross.

Effie:Loosen up, have fun, live life, have sex!

Effie: Liarrrrrr

Sam reappeared with a boyish smile on his face and two amber drinks in his hands.
How the heck had he gotten evenmoreattractive in the few moments he was gone?
I wrapped my fingers around the cold, thick glass, quietly prepping myself to run mental sprints. “Th-thank you.”
“My pleasure,” he said as he leaned against the railing, crossing one ankle over the other.
Easy. Effortless. Casual. His pose put me at ease.
“Cheers, my dear.”
