Who: Lei and Kenny
What: Party Aftermath
When: Feb 15, eeeaaaarrrly morning
Where: utility Elevator
There were a few reasons why Lei wasn't at the big gala held in the ballroom last night: one, because she wasn't a big fan of fancy galas. Two, she was pretty positive the people there wouldn't be her type of people, and three--she had an extremely early shift the next morning.
She'd never been much of a Valentines Day girl anyway; Lei wasn't much of a romantic, even though she had plenty of fun getting to know Remy at the little restaurant he'd suggested. If he had needed Valentines as an excuse to push them into more social standings with each other, she wasn't going to question that.
But right now, it was four in the morning, and the slight Asian Bostonian had her apartment list in hand, standing at the lobby door to the utility elevator in the back hallway, waiting for the doors to open so she could go (shudder) down to the basement to get her cart.
The shift in air around her cued Lei into the arrival of the car: she shifted in her nurse's shoes and waited for the doors to open. And when they did...
Lei's eyes widened.
Immediately, she shot forward, having at least enough sense to hit the 'hold' button so the doors wouldn't shut on them before crouching next to the slumped and disheveled woman on the floor of the elevator.
She pushed dark hair out of the other's face and felt her heart suddenly jam in her throat.
"Kenny...!"
