Time Out
Tess sat on the toilet. She usually avoided loud parties, but had been dragged to this one by a close friend. It didn’t take long for her to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of people in the house, and so she ran off to the bathroom where she could be alone. She could leave, but that would involve trying to find her friend again. Tess sat there listening to the music thudding through the walls. All she wanted was to have just a few minutes of peace and quiet to gather her thoughts. Someone knocked on the door.

This is something I’ve done at parties.

I can imagine this could happen. I’ve never done this, but I don’t really go to parties much.

It’s something I’ve done too. I hate parties. I’m a recluse at heart.

The introvert, I guess. Though one-on-one, I’m as extravert as they come.

This exact situation is why I refuse to go to a party without my own car. If I don’t have an easy escape route, I don’t go.
