Zoey's Doubt Interrupted by Dizzying Vulnerability

Referenced directly by Zoey as the second drink she mixed with earlier champagne; narratively it functions as the immediate physical cause of her lightheadedness and as a possible vector for compromised agency (implied risk in the nightclub context). It shifts the scene from abstract questioning to bodily vulnerability.

Before: In use at the table/couch area of the nightclub; in proximity to Zoey and Jean‑Paul and being consumed.

After: Consumed partially; its effects (Zoey's lightheadedness) are manifest and the drink remains an implied factor in her vulnerability, potentially suspect though not confirmed.

Before: In the waitress's tray, being carried past the table among other drinks.

After: Set in front of Zoey by Jean‑Paul; now in reach of the intended recipient and positioned to affect her state.

Drugged: Zoey Confronts Jean‑Paul

Zoey's colorful champagne drink serves as the vehicle for the drug and the immediate evidence of Jean‑Paul's action; it is the tangible object that transforms social intimacy into betrayal and triggers Zoey's decision to withdraw.

Before: In Zoey's possession on the nightclub floor; presented as a normal social drink under club lighting.

After: Still associated with Zoey but compromised as evidence of tampering; functionally abandoned as Zoey chooses to remove herself to the restroom.
