Chapter Six

“Jane? What happened to you?”

Falling into step next to me, Mark looked me up and down as I made my way towards the large fire in the back of the dining hall. Reaching the hearth, I fanned my dress in the heat of the flames in a desperate attempt to dry out the silk. Mark reached out to peel the sodden hair away from my forehead and laughed to see the way my makeup now made me appear like a demented clown who’d escaped a mental institution.

“The sink spit at me.”

He gave me an odd look, but remained silent for me to explain.

“I’m not kidding. You would think for a fancy restaurant, they would make sure their restroom facilities were working properly.”

Grabbing a dry cloth napkin from a nearby table, Mark patted at my hair as I continued to fan my dress. Neither of us were thinking properly and continued to act as a two man comedy team for the amusement of the other diners.

“The sink spit at you. So, the nozzle sprayed, you mean?”

I looked up at him and smiled. “No. If the nozzle had sprayed, I would have said the nozzle sprayed. The sink spit at me. Water shot up from the drain hole right into my face. It was fine after I turned the handle only a little and kept the flow low, but the water was coming out of the wrong place.”

Still confused and slightly wobbling on unsteady legs, his eyes were narrowed and he laughed. “That’s impossible. Water shouldn’t come out of the drain when you turn the handle.”

“So you’re a plumber now?” Giving up on my dress, I tilted back on my heels to look at him – and subsequently realized that was a bad idea. When I almost fell back, my knight in fireman armor grabbed my shoulders and kept me from hugging the floor for a third time that evening.

Me and the floor – we were getting tight, you know?

“I’m not a plumber, but I do know something about plumbing and I’ve never seen water shoot up from a drain when somebody turns the handle.”

He didn’t believe me and I didn’t like not being believed. Grabbing his hand, I said, “Fine. Since you’ve never seen it, then allow me to be the first to show it to you. Five bucks says I’m right and you’re wrong.”

Two drunken people on a mission – that was Mark and me as we made our way to the ladies’ room, letting ourselves inside without bothering to consider the fact that there might actually be someone using the facilities.

A scream and a healthy dose of cuss words later and the woman who’d been in the restroom left in a hurry, while Mark and I remained inside laughing our asses off.

Sure, we’d attempted to apologize and Mark even mentioned the fact that he was a fireman and had seen women in all states of undress, but the haughty bitch wasn’t buying it.

“We need to make this quick. I suspect…” Staggering for a second, I grabbed his arm to steady myself.
