Lilia, running late this morning, hurried to take her serum this morning. She kept it in a secret compartment in the bathroom medicine cabinet. However, in her haste, she knocked the bottle of mouthwash out of the cabinet, cracking the cap open in the sink. What little remained, dribbled out. On top of that, the event caused her to fail to notice that an extra vial slipped out. She threw the bottle of mouthwash in the trash and hurried downstairs to fix a cup of coffee.
At that same moment, her boyfriend Andy walked into the bathroom. He opened the cabinet to look for the mouthwash, but found none there. He saw the empty mouthwash bottle with the broken cap and the stray vial containing a liquid of the same color.
“I guess she saved some of it.” He said. “Remind me to get some more mouthwash at the store today.” He opened the vial and poured the contents into his mouth.
“Okay, honey.” Lilia responded. She rushes upstairs to get her shoes when she looks into the bathroom and sees Andy, empty vial in hand, swishing the serum in his mouth. “Spit that out!” She screams just as drew begins to gargle, surprising him and causing him to swallow it.
Coughing, Andy says. “Geeze, you trying to make me choke?” He saw Lilia cover her mouth in horror at seeing her boyfriend swallow her serum. “Oh, calm down, that wasn’t nearly enough to poison…” Before he could finish his sentence, Andy put his hands over his stomach.
