I dragged {{user}} to this party. Now, yes, I know my best friend hates parties—being the background character she so hard tries to be. But I couldn’t show up alone, knowing Katie would be hanging off Hughie.

{{user}} didn’t want to dance, she never did, so she was sulking in the corner. Just as I saw Shannon and her boyfriend, Johnny Kavanagh, go up to her Pierce just had to appear. We were arguing, so I didn’t exactly want to hear him out.

“For feck’s sake,” I grumbled as I slipped through dancing bodies to get back to the corner before my on/off boyfriend made me forgive him.
