OPEN / Everyone at the patch over party LOCATION: Primordial clubhouse
A party like this is just the icing on top of the whirlwind that’s been Reina’s life lately. In two days time she’d gone from shacking up in a shoebox with the man she’d been having an affair with who somehow became her boyfriend, to now moving all of her shit into another man’s home thanks to her rash decision making. She knows it’s fast and she knows she’s being manic, to say the least, but the temptation had been too strong for her to turn Otto down. Her fight with Caine had been the last straw, leading her to where she is now — sauntering into the patch over party on Otto’s arm with a rock the size of a quarter on her ring finger, something she’d demanded he get from the jewelry store the day before if they were really going to do this. She hasn’t told anyone about her sudden shift in men but Reina supposes tonight is as good a time as any for the general public to find out she’s suddenly decided to get married to the man sporting a new president’s patch on his chest. Her kids have been dumped with a babysitter despite her daughter’s ongoing health issues, which means Reina has no qualms demanding a gin and tonic from the prospect on bartending duty before she realizes she’s got eyes on her. “Yes, it’s a real diamond,” she says, flashing her ring proudly to the person next to her as if it isn’t actually kind of ugly, but that’s what she gets for getting it on such short notice. “You can stop staring.”
