I wouldn't blame my organs if they just decided to quit working after this weekend.
Way too much information, and it's only Saturday night--but it sounds like a fun party, and Monty did invite her. So Beth goes, and it's like all the best parties she went to in high school, except bigger. Fewer people she knows, more food and drinks, and it's indoors, which is pretty cool.
And unlike the parties she went to in high school, where everyone had known everyone since kindergarten, there's no way in hell her dad will ever hear about this. She's surrounded by strangers, untold miles from her family, and no one here will ever tell her father she showed up...let alone what she did after that point.
So she has a drink. And then another. By the time she finds Monty in the crush of people, she's tipsy, bright-eyed and willing to say stupider things than usual. "There you are!" she says, waving with her free hand (the other has a half-empty wine cooler--fakey peach flavored--in it). "You're not supposed to invite people to parties and then ditch them, you know."
PUTTING IT OVER HERE SO IT DOESN'T GET SWALLOWED UP BY TFLN
