i watched him as he reached the dark shadow beside the kitchen doorway,where the lights only shone intermittently.he was leaninb over someone,bue i couldn't see past all the heads between us.
i stretched up on my toes,craning my neck.right then,a red light flashed across his back and glinted off the red sequins of alice's shirt.the light only touched her face for half a second,but it was enough.
"excuse me for a minute,jess"i mumbled,pulling my arm away.i didn't pause for her reaction,even to see if i'd hurt her feelings with my abruptness.
