GEMMA PETERS DID not like parties.
Her idea of a good time consisted of a book and a blanket, perhaps a cup
of tea. The loud, raucous bar where she stood was draining her battery
faster than a Netflix binge would her phone. Nonetheless, she was dutifully
wearing her party smile and positive attitude. She only had to last another
hour until her alarm went off, set for a strict departure time of ten p.m. so
that she could head home to give her dog his meds and be in bed by ten
forty-five like a responsible adult. It was a weeknight, after all. No doubt
the party would last until the small hours of the morning because her best
friend Lila regarded mundane schedules with the same importance as spam
calls.
If a fizzy glass of pink champagne—bubbly, beautiful—were a person, it
would be Lila.
Speaking of champagne, the birthday girl suddenly materialized in front
of Gemma, pushing the tiara that had begun to slip from her silky hair back
into place and shoving a glass of bubbles into Gemma’s hands.
“You need another!” Lila screamed at her from inches away. Despite her
skin being misted with remnants of the night’s festivities, her makeup
remained impeccable. Gemma chalked it up to the stockpile of free, highquality beauty products causing small avalanches on every available surface
in Lila’s apartment. Companies sent them to her in exchange for a review
on her YouTube channel or a post on her Instagram. @Lila_in_L.A. had
over two hundred thousand followers.
Lila held a matching champagne glass in her own manicured hand, and
Gemma knew by the gloss in her eyes that she had had plenty to drink.
I don’t think I need another, but thank you, Gemma thought about
saying, but she knew that refusal would only result in playful pouting, a
reminder that it was Lila’s birthday, and accusations of being a party
pooper. So instead she would take the glass and discreetly leave it on the
bar while Lila sauntered off into the clutches of her more spirited guests.
The routine was as old as their friendship.
Except Lila went off script. She did not smear her painted lips against
Gemma’s cheek in a parting kiss and gush an inebriated tribute to their
bond. She expectantly watched Gemma floating, glass in hand, like an
awkward iceberg in a sea full of mostly strangers.
“What?” Gemma asked.
“Drink it!” Lila commanded with an upward sweep of her hand. The
bangles on her wrist tumbled midway to her elbow.
Gemma’s face filled with warmth as if they were back in their dorm
room years before and Lila was asking her to choke down a mouthful of
pilfered peach schnapps.
