Lucky Girl - Completed

Just when Evie is getting past Jude here comes another reminder. I agree with Evie that she can't have Jen in her life. Not right now anyhow and definitely not if it means coming face to face with Jude. It's good that she feels like she broke Jude's spell over her but the way it all happened was so awkward. Evie wasn't really there of her own free will, not entirely. It was only an act of appeasement really.

The thing with drinks having lewd names is framed as being fun and throwing off the burden of society's stodgy rules. It's the unspoken truth that those names and the drinks themselves are a device that give cover to men for their predatory acts. They're a trap as well. If you don't partake you're stuck up or a prude. If you have one and things take turn that ends in assault, well you were asking for it. You were having this drink called such and such, so you were clearly sending signals that you were on the pull and that the 'poor unsuspecting man' was being mislead. If does come to that they can spin it so that you were the one that was trying to trap them. Having drinks like that at home with a partner who you are in a committed relationship with can be fun. In public with strangers it's a very different, darker dynamic.
