“I do own this place!” Pearl straightened up and towered over Jenny, who was now visibly shorter than
her.
Jenny’s smug expression vanished. “What do you mean?”
“I own this bar, and you’re making a scene here. Do you think I won’t throw you out?” Pearl enjoyed the

The atmosphere grew tense, and after Wayne had calmed Lynette down, he walked over.

“Okay, that group is waiting for you.” Wayne grabbed Pearl’s arm, preparing to leave, when suddenly
Richard stood up. His voice, though clear, carried a tinge of sadness as he said, “Let’s go home!”
Pearl froze, then scoffed. “I thought you’re not going home?”
Wayne chuckled. “Oh, that’s a shame.”
Jenny tried to stop Richard. “Why are you going home now, Rick?”
Ignoring her, Richard gazed at Pearl with quiet intensity. “Let’s go home.”

not leaving. I want to spend more time here with you”
“The drug would be kicking in soon,’ she thought.
