“You can stay the night,” Shay said. “I don’t have a spare room, but you’re cute. I’ll share my bed with you.”

Hedra laughed. “That’s nice of you, but Nan is an early riser. I’d have to leave at, like, five am tomorrow to get home in time.”

“Ugh. Morning people are the worst.” Shay took another drink of beer. “You can’t drive home. You’re way too drunk for that.”

“And high,” Hedra said. “Can’t forget the high part.”

“Right,” Shay giggled. “Gimme your keys.”

“I’m not gonna drive. I’m calling an Uber.” Hedra squinted at her phone again. Fuck, why was the screen so fuzzy?

Shay hiccupped and giggled again.

“Thanks for letting me hang out tonight and listening to me complain about stupid Boone.” Hedra tried to squeeze Shay’s shoulder, overshot, and got a handful of boob.

Shay laughed. “Hey, watch it, Handsy McGee.”

“Sorry,” Hedra said.

“Eh, it’s fine,” Shay waved a careless hand in her direction. “It’s the most action I’ve gotten in a year.”

She squinted at Hedra. “Hey - you like girls?”

“Nah, I’m straight,” Hedra said. “You?”

“As an arrow,” Shay said. “Which pisses me off because you and I would be such a badass couple.”

“Word,” Hedra said. She held her fist up and grunted when Shay tried to fist bump her, missed, and punched her in the boob.

“Oops, sorry!” Shay said before giggling.

The doorbell rang, and they blinked at each other like tired owls.

“I guess your Uber’s here,” Shay said.

“I didn’t order one. Did I?” Hedra tried to focus on her phone screen.

“Musta,” Shay’s words were slightly slurred as she stood.

“You’re so drunk,” Hedra stood and staggered after Shay.

“And high. Can’t forget the high part,” Shay said. She opened the door and stared at the man standing in the doorway. “You look familiar. Have you Ubered me before?”

She snorted laughter. “Ubered me… good one, right, Hedra?”

She tried to high-five Hedra and slapped her on the side of the head. “Ooh, sorry.”

Shay stroked Hedra’s face as Hedra said, “What are you doing here, Boone?”

“Shit, it’s Boone.” Shay rubbed Hedra’s face again. “Bad luck getting Boone as your Uber driver, babe.”

“Are you drunk?” Boone asked.

“Yes,” Hedra said.

“And high,” Shay said. “Can’t forget the high part.”

“Why are you here, Boone?” Hedra asked.
