where: singles night, acid nightclub
who: Lonnie ( @of-beasts-and-blood )
Being unmarried had its perks. Namely: 1) it infuriated her parents, and 2) she had time for more important things, like climbing up the ladder to success and power.
It also had its fair share of pitfalls, however.
1) It got lonely, though she’d never admit that,
and 2) her parents never shut up about it, which was beginning to drive her mental.
Mingling at a singles event on Valentine’s Day felt about as pathetic as it could get, but she’d come anyway. She figured she’d at least get some drinks in her before she lured some poor unsuspecting bachelor into her bed. Unfortunately, she was three drinks in and still - none of the men that had approached her so far had met her standards.
She’d just sent another one on his way with his tail between his legs - when her gaze narrowed in on a familiar face across the room.
Their eyes met. And in that split second she made a decision. She began to approach the bar, her stride filled with purpose.
Lonnie appeared to be just as surprised to see her as she was, him.
“Wasn’t expecting to see you here tonight,” she said, speaking before he could.
