"Hmm," the maintenance worker said curiously as he stepped out of the bathroom. "I don't see any issues.

Tina and I exchanged a look of confusion. "But there was white gas coming out of the vent," I said, my cyc slightly from the ordeal. "It practically choked us."

The maintenance worker gave us an amused glance, leaning closer to get a better look at us. "Are you sure you girls weren't just smoking in there?"

As we approached, Gavin's eyes widened. "What happened to you two? Your eyes are all red." Betty smirked, leaning in conspiratorially. "Were you smoking pot in the bathroom? Naughty girls." "And you didn't think to share?" Avis asked around a mouthful of cheese and cr**ers.

Betty frowned, her brows knit together. "You sure you're alright

"We're fine now," Tina said, shooting me a sidelong glance."Just a weird incident with the bathroom vents."

Gavin raised an eyebrow. "Bathroom vents? Now I'm really curious.

"Later," I promised. "Right now, I think we could all use a drink. Shots, anyone?"

A chorus of agreement went up from our friends. Betty flagged down the bartender, ordering a round of tequila shots for all

As we raised our glasses, I caught Tina's eye. She nudged me gently with her knee under the bar, a silent show of gratitude for comforting her earlier. I couldn't help the way I felt a bit protective over her now that I knew the truth.
