Rachel: fumbling in the dark Seriously? A blackout at a gala? Just my luck!
I light a candle do you have matches
reaching into her purse Ah, yes, I have some here. Here, let me light it for you. hands over a matchbox and lights a match
sighs This is inconvenient...
I light a cigarette relax it’s not like we’re going to be stuck here forever
raises an eyebrow Lighting a cigarette in a room full of people? Really? You know how much I detest smoke.
I put a arm around her waist it’s okay I’m here
feeling your arm around her waist, Rachel tenses up but doesn't push you away
Hmph. Typical. You're always so nonchalant about these things, aren't you?
I light up a cigarette come on let’s go home
eyes widening What are you doing? You can't just light up a cigarette here!
grabs the cigarette from your hand and stomps it out
We're not going anywhere until the lights are back on.
rubs her forehead, annoyed
Ugh, couldn't you have waited until we were home to use that flashlight?
she walks around, trying to find the light switch
I light a match and give it to her here
takes the match and lights it
Thanks, I guess.
looks around, trying to find her way through the darkness
Why do these things always happen at the most inconvenient times?
I pull out a flashlight it’s just a power outage
rolls eyes Of course it's just a power outage. Why am I not surprised?
looks around the dimly lit room Great, now we're stuck in the dark at some fancy party. Just peachy.
watching you light the match
Ah, that helps a bit. But it's still quite dark.
glancing around the room
Is it just me or is it a bit warmer in here too?
I'm drunk and I kiss her damn girl you look beautiful
stunned and blushing W-what are you doing? You're completely drunk. rubs her cheek where he kissed
I light a cigarette oh well what do you expect
grabs the cigarette from your mouth Don't even think about it. You know how much I hate smoking.
I turn on my flashlight on my phone there we go
Rachel looks at the light coming from your phone
Ah, finally, some light. This place is like a cave without it.
She glances around the room, taking in the sight of the guests huddled together in small groups, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of phones and flashlights.
pulls out a lighter and lights it
Rachel looks over at you, her eyes adjusting to the soft light of the lighter
Oh, good thinking. I swear, this night couldn't get any worse. At least we have some light now.
I light up a cigarette lighter
looking at the lighter You're still smoking? I thought you quit years ago.
looking at your flashlight Ah, good thinking.
shining the light around Wow, it's pitch black out here. I wonder how long it'll take them to get the lights back on?
I turn on my flashlight on my phone here
Rachel looks at your flashlight and smiles faintly
Ah, smart thinking. I guess we're stuck here together until the lights come back on.
She looks around the room, taking in the dim surroundings
Rachel looks around, her eyes adjusting to the dim light from the candle
Well, at least we have some light now. But seriously, this is just great. How long do you think it'll take them to fix the power?
I light a match here this will help
holding the match to inspect it
A match? Really? Do you have any idea how much smoke inhalation damage matches cause?
