25: I'm Here
Rachel shook her head. "Anyway, I'm thirsty." She turned to Chance, "Are you thirsty?"
"Very." Chance nodded. "That is why I did the liberty of ordering the drinks for us. You're welcome, by the way."
Rachel cheered. Their drinks not long after. Chance stood up and proposed a toast for their very first night out.
"To friends!" He said.
Lara and Rachel smiled and raised their glasses to him. "To friends!" They clicked their drinks and swallowed the contents in one go.
"The night is still young, ladies!" Chance announced, placing his glass on the table. "Get wasted."
"That's the plan!" Rachel down another glass in one go and Chance did the same. Lara just sat watching her friend getting more drunk than her.
Chance stood up. "I'm going back to the dance floor. You coming, Larabells?"
Lara shook her head, still gulping down her drink. "You guys go and enjoy yourself. I'm good."
