Beth has never really been much of one for parties or drinking or anything like that, but she recognizes that's at least partly due to the fact that she never had the chance. One day she was fifteen and the next day half her family was dead, shuffling around in the barn, the entire world outside their farm cut off and ripped apart and dying. She'd grown up in the middle of the end of the world, so she knows it makes sense she never had much interest in anything like that, because there was never any real high school or college experience for her.
In Darrow, being in college had been serious. A second chance. She'd been there to get a degree, to make sure she could provide for the people who were suddenly her responsibility, and she hadn't felt the slightest urge to goof off or go out to parties when she was invited. If she wasn't in school, she was working, either at the music store or playing music, and if she wasn't doing that, she had Judith to look after.
It's a good life, she won't ever complain about it, not when she knows she's lucky to have it at all, but lately, with school on the back burner and Carl getting better and better, she's found herself kind of tempted by the invitations she gets. Not specifically those invitations, because they usually come from guys who've watched her play, and that's not the sort of fun night she has in mind, but she texts Blue on a whim one day, asking if she'd like to go out one Saturday evening.
It might not be quite a party, they're not exactly planning on going clubbing, but it's still something she's never really done before, getting together with a girlfriend on a Saturday night. They can do anything they want and that's what makes it feel so normal.
Beth kisses Curtis, promises not to be too late, then heads out the door to meet up with Blue.
