omething　that　reminded　her　of　coffee。　“At　Filter？”　That　sounded　right。

“Wait；　Tyler　Rose；　as　in　the　DJ　TyRo？”　Elise　sounded　excited。

“Yeah！”　Jenny　said　in　surprise。　Elise　had　heard　of　him？

“Pick　me　up　in　ten　minutes；”　Elise　manded。

Outside；　Jenny　looked　at　the　rows　of　green…awninged　buildings　on　Fifth　Avenue。　Most　of　the　lights　in　the　windows　were　out；　and　she　felt　a　shiver　of　excitement　course　through　her　body。　She　hadn’t　had　a　wild　and　crazy　night　in　forever。　She　hadn’t　realized　until　now　how　much　she　missed　the　feeling　of　an　anything…can…happen　adventure。　She　hailed　a　cab　and　directed　it　to　Elise’s　building　several　blocks　away。

A　figure　brushed　out　of　a　door。　It　was　Elise；　looking　taller；　blonder；　and　skinnier　than　Jenny　remembered。　She　wore　a　cleavage…baring　Alice＋Olivia　purple　tank　top　and　a　tight　black　Marc　by　Marc　Jacobs　skirt　without　a　coat。

“Hey！”　Elise　exclaimed；　bursting　into　the　cab　and　hugging　Jenny。

“I　brought　some　stuff　to　get　the　party　started。”　Elise　grinned　mischievously　as　she　passed　her　a　bottle　of　Diet　Coke。　Jenny　took　a　swig；　coughing　when　she　realized　it　was　saturated　with　vodka。

“Thanks！”　she　grinned；　taking　another；　more　careful；　sip。

Some　things　never　change。

The　cab　pulled　up　to　a　one…story　black　building。　A　red　velvet　rope　held　back　a　line　that　snaked　its　way　down　the　block；　and　a　beefy　bouncer　stood　with　his　arms　crossed；　blocking　the　ominous…looking　steel　door　entrance。

Jenny　boldly　marched　up　to　the　bouncer；　ready　to　tell　him　she　was　on　the　list。　But　she　didn’t　have　to。　He　just　grinned；　show
