Will hesitated. Then, quicker than she could process what to do, where to go, and how to stop this tsunami rushing towards them, he yanked her to her feet. She winced as her arm pulled at its socket. He was moving her, pushing her toward the door to the hallway. She didn’t fight it, not …
There was a moment’s hesitation once the group were undressed. Lingering on the edge, peering down into the water and waiting – for what, Emily wasn’t sure. For them to come to their senses? But they’d drunk too much, smoked too much, their senses tossed away with that last joint and in an instant, Sam …
“Well as fun as this is,” Sticks said a few minutes later, the group lazing around the trolley park in the dimly lit car park, “we’ve still got three hours until the first bus. What are we gonna do?” Bender spoke up. “Wese could –.” “No,” the group groaned. “Youse didn’t even let me finish,” …
Passing the long line to the downstairs toilet, she headed up the stairs scattered with writhing bodies. Upstairs, the landing was as imposing and spacious as the rest of the house.
