Meanwhile, back at the lively party, the night continued to unfold in a symphony of lights, music, and laughter. Blissfully unaware of Sam's concern, she found herself further entangled in the vibrant celebration.

As Iris and she danced, the pulsating beats and the lively atmosphere heightened the sense of euphoria. The night seemed to stretch into an endless array of joyous moments. However, the effects of Iris's concoction became more pronounced, and the lines between reality and exhilaration began to blur.

Back at home, Sam, perplexed by the arrangement of pillows in Eve's room, couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss. With a lingering sense of worry, he quietly exited her room, contemplating whether to investigate further or trust that Eve was simply enjoying a restful night.

Little did Sam know that the night held more surprises, both at the party and within the walls of their home. The convergence of these separate narratives created a tapestry of events that would shape the course of the night and its aftermath.

Worry gnawed at Sam's thoughts as he exited Eve's room. Unable to shake the sense of unease, he decided to wake Ed, his concern growing too great to keep to himself. Swiftly crossing the hallway, he gently knocked on Ed's door.

"Ed, wake up. We need to talk," Sam urged, his voice carrying the weight of apprehension.

Ed stirred from his sleep, groggily responding, "What's going on, Sam? Is everything okay?"

Sam entered Ed's room, closing the door behind him. His expression was serious as he began to explain, "I checked on Eve, and ..but there's something strange. I found a bunch of pillows arranged under her duvet, as if she's trying to create the impression that she's sleeping. I'm not sure what's going on, but it doesn't sit right with me."

Ed's eyes widened with concern, the gravity of the situation sinking in. "Pillows? What do you mean? Is she not in her room?"

Sam nodded, the worry deepening. "She's not there, but it looks like she arranged the pillows to make it seem like she's sleeping. I can't shake the feeling that something's off. We need to check on her."

With a shared sense of urgency, Sam and Ed headed to Eve's room. The hallway felt tense as they approached, uncertainty hanging in the air. As they opened the door, what awaited them inside would unravel the mystery and set the stage for the next chapter of this eventful night.

In the tranquility of the night, while Eve reveled in the vibrant pulse of the nightclub, Sam's concern deepened at home. After a thorough search of every corner failed to reveal Eve's presence, perplexity etched across his face.

He meticulously checked each room, calling out her name in the hushed silence of their home. The empty spaces echoed back, heightening the sense of worry that gnawed at him. As he stood in the hallway, the realization dawned upon him-Eve wasn't home.

A surge of concern gripped Sam, and he retraced his steps, hoping to find a clue or a sign of where Eve might have gone. He checked the usual spots, called her phone, but each attempt only deepened the mystery.

In the midst of this unfolding uncertainty, Sam's mind raced through possibilities. Had something happened to her? Was she in trouble? The unanswered questions fueled his worry, and a knot tightened in his stomach.

Outside, the city's lights shimmered in the darkness, unaware of the turmoil within the walls of Sam's home. As the night carried on, the paths of Sam's concern and Eve's revelry diverged, leaving both of them navigating through the shadows of the night, each unaware of the other's journey.
Frustration and worry etched across Sam's face as he considered his next move. Realizing the gravity of the situation, he hurried to talk to Ed.
