Night of No Worries
Liliana didn’t expect so much of Wonderland to attend the coronation. She glanced around, catching quick reads of the faces around her as she walked towards the arrangements; needing a drink already after only twenty minutes in the belly of the beast. She took a deep breath as she walked passed a tall floral arrangement, letting herself smile and reach out and pluck a small bloom before tucking it between two fingers. If she could focus on the moment, on enjoying her free night away from work, then maybe she would then learn how to better relax throughout the week. That was a good short term goal.
She let out a sigh as she reached the champagne end of the beverage table. After a long sip her tension started to release from her bare shoulders. Why didn’t she do this more often? Her eyes scanned the room again, hoping to maybe find a friendly face among the otherwise strange crowd. A smirk tugged on her lips as she found someone she definitely didn’t expect to see tonight. He looked well though. Liliana rose her glass towards him from across the large room and smiled as their eyes found one another. Maybe tonight wouldn’t be so bad after all.
