OPEN || EVENT
Agnes was going to be staying in the Shafiq home that evening, but that didn’t mean that she was going to stay in ‘her room’ all day. The very idea was, truthfully, probably, the furthest thing from the truth possible at that moment. No, she’d pass the afternoon with the girls, just like always. and it was going to be plenty of fun but she wondered, for a moment, whether she should head straight for where Georgie had already promised she would be by the time Agnes arrived (Georgie could be counted on to be where she said she’d be when she said she’d be there) or ... if ... perhaps .... she should play ‘hello, neighbor’ for a bit first, to satisfy the curiosity and see who’d be staying where.
In the end, she’d ended up doing both, only to retreat back into the house and emerge from her room for supper looking like an entirely different person in her own eyes. Straightened hair and a dress with a hemline an inch shorter than usual? The bodysnatchers had come, how fun. One last look to throw out with the bathwater as far as she was concerned, but it hadn’t stopped her slinking around the ballroom and eavesdropping on people who hadn’t recognized her right away.
Eventually though, even she got bored, and found herself a drink and a patch of wall to lean on. “Heard anything juicy so far?”
