Todd walks in and opens the door. Several women walk in.
"Hi. You guys are a bit early, but more people will be here soon. The alcohol is over there, " Todd says as he points to the bar, "I'll start the music."
The girls look around with blank stares and fidget with their purses. One of the girls notices Ian who is sitting at the couch and flashes a toothy grin at him. He returns her smile with a curt nod and continues to pour beer down his throat.
Todd starts up the soundtrack from Pulp Fiction on the stereo as more people filter in through the open door. As he turns around, Nicki his ex-girlfriend walks in. He frowns furiously as she walks up to him.
"Hi Todd, I hope you don't mind my coming, but this is the only party I heard off tonight. How are you?"
"I'm fine, no problem, " he forces out. He notices his fists are clenched, and he loosens them. "I, uh, have to go get something." Todd strides off to his room at a nearly running pace.
Nicki looks down at the brown carpet and shakes her head. She heads off to the bar.
