Lydia lowered her head and, with a click, turned the doorknob.

Just as she opened the door, Tiffany, overwhelmed by the effects of the drug, collapsed into Quincy's arms.

Quincy had been caught off guard. He had only meant to help her, but Tiffany, standing behind him, suddenly made a move, catching him by surprise. Without warning, she lunged, causing both of them to fall onto the bed. As she reached for his lips, Quincy's eyes darkened, and he tilted his head just in time, causing her kiss to land awkwardly on his chin.

But Lydia recoiled even faster. The sadness on her face was overwhelming, and without a word, she turned and left.

Quincy tried to run after her, but Tiffany held onto him tightly.
