Jim had invited 3 guys he worked with over to play cards. I'd met the guys and I didn't mind. They were nice enough. They were polite to me and it was Jim's home and he was welcome to have his friends here.

The night started out normally. I welcomed the guys and got some snacks. They sat around the table talking and playing cards while I went in the other room to watch TV. It wasn't a party or anything. No one drank to excess. I was meeting people so, of course, I had on a nice pair of jeans, brushed my hair, and a little makeup, but nothing...
