*/ @thexcarrollxtimes (jack), the party.
she wasn't going to leave the party over an accident, at least that's what she'd have told anyone who asked. she was notoriously a short texter, unwilling or unable to keep a conversation going through the messages jack sent her from time to time. it was enough to know that he would be at the party, and she would find him eventually. she hadn't expected to be searching him out so early, but that was the evening.
steps away on the lanai, she found him sitting, taking a break— she assumed. she sat next to him, on the lounger, the the music a dull hum this far away. "i thought you would be dancing, with your boyfriend."
