On a warm Melbourne afternoon, my girlfriend Sam and I headed out with a group of her friends and their partners for a quiet Sunday afternoon catch up. We started drinking mid afternoon and had planned to be home by around 7pm to wind down after a big weekend.
It got to around 8pm and we were both pretty hammered, so were planning to head home. One of the other guys, Tom lived pretty close to the venue we were at and invited us to come around to his place for a few more drinks. Tom had just started dating one of Sam’s friends Veronica and seemed like a pretty cool guy. I was pretty keen to head home but Sam was super keen to go along for a little bit.
Six of us headed to Tom’s place, which was located on level 12 of an apartment building with a nice view out across the bay. The other couple that came back stayed for around an hour before taking off leaving Sam, Tom, Veronica and I.
