Deidre rose from her place on the carpet. “Here now, boys…”

Gerry straightened. What a fucked up night. What a fucked up party. What the hell was even happening? How had the day started so well and ended up so…fucked up? He swallowed and looked at Deidre. He begged her with his eyes to do something that would get him out of the hole he was digging for himself. It wasn’t Deidre that approached, though. It was Phil.
