This is the story I wrote last week:

Familiarity drugs thought, and begins to blur instinct. –
Arthur Upfield’s Bony and the Mouse
Blurred Instincts
What a contrast he was to her ex-boyfriend. He smiled at her as they drank cocktails on the beach. He actually seemed interested in what she had to say, though he gave very little information about himself.
He was youngish and reasonably handsome. When he initially started chatting to her at the Bar she wasn’t interested, something about his smile and those cold eyes she didn’t like. Finally, she’d agreed to have one drink with him. She’d been flattered, there were much prettier girls at the bar. His easy-going manner and the way he listened attentively to what she said had slowly chipped away at her initial reluctance, familiarity drugs thought and begins to blur instinct.
After that, they took their drinks down to the sea and sat on the beach. She sipped her drink and enjoyed the feeling of numbness that rose up from her toes. The sound of the waves lapping against the soft sand was soothing. The smell of the salty sea mingled with the scent of his aftershave.
She woke up suddenly. The sun streamed through the window. A blurred figure stood over her as her eyes adjusted to the light.
It was a female figure dressed in a police uniform.
“Ah, you’re awake. We were worried he’d given you an overdose. You’re lucky our patrol found you when we did before he could carry out his plan. He ran off though and we didn’t manage to catch him. Could you provide us with a description?”

It was daunting enough as it was and a timely reminder not to take drinks from strangers this party season!

Indeed, there are a lot of creeps out there. Keep your drink covered as well and always have a call back procedure.

I’m sure it wasn’t very nice. He’d drugged her, after all. Creepy.

Spiked drinks were something mom always warned me about! Glad that the police found her.
