They are staring because you look hot! Now smile and get me to the house, my feet fucking hurt." Sam reminded us, and I felt a little more relaxed. At least we were blending in, not disappearing in the back We pushed our way through the crowd, and I was thankful for the liquid courage we had at the house.
