Rooney tried to get me to dance with her, just in a casual, fun way, and I tried, I swear I tried, but she gave up quickly and found someone else. I bobbed along the side of various people I’d had conversations with. I was having fun. I was having fun. I was not having fun. It was nearing eleven o’clock when I messaged Pip, mostly because I wanted someone to talk to without having to shout.
